What We Look At

Comprehensive developmental screening that bridges play and meaningful evaluation

Play-Based, Developmentally Meaningful

While your child plays, we're observing foundational skills that predict school readiness and identify areas where early support can make the biggest difference. Our assessment covers six key developmental areas.

Communication & Language

We observe how your child expresses ideas, uses vocabulary, and forms sentences. This includes naming objects, describing pictures, and engaging in simple conversations.

We assess how well your child processes spoken language, follows instructions, and comprehends questions. This reveals attention and auditory processing skills.
