Developmental Screenings

Child Check is a developmental screening that offers families a quick snapshot of a child’s ability to learn, speak, move, see and hear. Referrals are made when a child needs further evaluation or special services.

Since all children develop differently, parents may wonder if their child is on the right track. Checks are provided at no cost and are by appointment only.

Child Checks are held once monthly.
