Developmental Screenings
Developmental Screenings consist of a 50-minute appointment where a psychologist conducts a brief screen of your child for developmental, social, emotional, language, and/or behavioral concerns. Screenings take the place of an initial intake and are preferable to parent-only consultation appointments for parents who are looking to determine whether their child is within expected parameters for development. A screening does not take the place of a diagnostic assessment as it does not provide sufficient opportunity for diagnostic conclusions to be made. Rather, screenings lead to specific, concrete recommendations for developmental activities and/or referrals for additional services if needed. Whether your child may benefit from recommended parent-guided activities in the home or may require more intensive early intervention supports with a specialist, you will leave the screening session with an immediate actionable plan to improve your child’s development. Screenings can also determine whether or not further, more comprehensive assessment is warranted. Developmental Screenings are offered for infants as young as three months to children as old as 5 years.
