Developmental Screenings

The first five years in a child's development are considered the formative years.  During this period, a child develops approximately 70% of their brain connections.  Brain development is dependent on the unique interaction between the child and his/her environment.  Parents who understand how to provide their children with appropriate stimulation and interaction during these early years can enhance their child's brain development and help prepare them for school success.

The developmental screening program not only gives parents an idea of their child's developmental strengths and weaknesses, but can also help to identify potential learning, behavioral, or motor problems before school enrollment.  This allows parents maximal time to intervene to develop skills as needed.
