Developmental Screenings
Practical, non-diagnostic insight to guide next steps in classrooms and early learning settings.
About our Screenings
Screenings are classroom-based observations carried out in children’s usual learning environment to help identify who may benefit from extra support with participation, engagement, regulation, attention, motor foundations, and learning readiness. They provide practical insight to guide classroom strategies and next steps, rather than a diagnosis.
The goal
The goal is to give settings early, practical insight that can guide classroom strategies and next steps. Screenings are not a diagnostic assessment.
