What is a screening or evaluation?
A screening is a basic interview which can help determine if a further evaluation is necessary to determine eligibility for early intervention services. It is necessary that your child have an evaluation in several developmental areas in order to determine eligibility for child development/early intervention services. The evaluation will occur only with your written permission and at no cost to you. The evaluation is done with you, your child and early intervention professionals. Evaluation looks at several areas of your child’s development, including cognitive, physical, communication, social, and adaptive skills.
