Screenings are a way to learn about your child’s development and skill levels. The screening will show how your child is developing compared to other children of the same age. Children requiring more extensive evaluations are referred to other school personnel for more formal testing and possibly special education services. Children demonstrating low scores on the screening may qualify for preschool services. Children demonstrating limited English proficiency may qualify for services as an English Learner.
The screening process takes approximately one hour. A standardized screening instrument is used to assess each child’s development in areas of speech and concept development. Screenings will be conducted on the following dates for the 2021-2022 school year.
