Screening
Screening young children is an effective, efficient way for parents and professionals to catch problems and start treatment during the crucial early years when the child’s brain and body are developing rapidly. It is a brief non-diagnostic strength-focused tool, so it can’t diagnose a disability. It can help determine if your child needs further assessment or support in one or more areas. Because developmental and social-emotional delays can be subtle and can occur in children who appear to be developing typically, most children who would benefit from early intervention are not identified until after they start school. Prior to starting kindergarten, routine screening can have a huge difference in your child's academic and social well being.
