Quick Assessments to Determine the Need for Further Evaluatio

Screenings are short, targeted assessments designed to quickly identify potential developmental, learning, or motor challenges in children. These preliminary evaluations help determine whether a full, comprehensive paediatric assessment is recommended.

During a screening, therapists observe the child engaging in age-appropriate tasks, noting areas of strength and potential concern. This may include motor coordination, sensory processing, attention, cognitive skills, and early learning abilities.

Screenings are ideal for parents and educators who want to proactively identify difficulties before they become more significant challenges. Results provide clear guidance on next steps, whether that involves monitoring, implementing home activities, or scheduling a detailed assessment.

Parents are included in the process and receive feedback on how to support their child’s development at home and school. Early detection allows for timely intervention, enhancing the child’s confidence, participation, and readiness for future learning.
