Starting in the 2024-25 school year, Sparkler is free to families in Ohio with children 5 and under, and to the programs serving them. Families use Sparkler’s mobile application, which they can download from the app store or google play store. Schools or other providers sign into Sparkler’s web-based dashboard to engage with families, download reports, etc. Learn more about the program — and how your program can get started — at HelpMeGrow.org, where Sparkler’s partners at Bright Beginnings provide a wealth of information about Ohio’s developmental screening program.
