Developmental screenings provide better outcomes as your child grows.

Research shows that early intervention treatment services can improve a child’s development. According to a survey conducted in seven North Florida counties, 8 in 10 residents agreed that developmental screenings are critical to ensuring that a child is on the right developmental path.

Celebrate your children’s milestones by seeing their progress with developmental screenings.

With the use of developmental screenings, parents and teachers can see their children progress over time and ensure they are on the right track for Kindergarten. The screenings can also highlight your child’s individual strengths and help determine whether early intervention by a professional is necessary.

Developmental screenings help teachers understand how to enhance each student’s education.

Developmental screenings can help teachers know each one of their students’ unique abilities, so they can better tailor the curriculum to benefit each child individually.

Developmental screenings can lead to educational success.

Only an estimated 10% of children with delays are identified and receive intervention.
Early identification and intervention are critical and can help ensure children are developing at the right pace, setting them up for a bright future.
