Our Developmental screening includes a series of evaluations, observations, and tests to determine if there is a delay in the child’s development. Our experienced Pediatric Nurse Practitioner is also credentialed as a Developmental Disabilities Nurse. The assessment process used will examine areas such as language, fine and gross motor skills, social skills and cognitive abilities, to determine if the child’s milestones are appropriate for the current developmental stage of life.
Why is screening important?
Early intervention significantly improves a child’s outcomes and helps them reach their full potential. Finding answers to areas of concern about your child’s development is the first step in finding interventions to help them as they grow and reach their full potential.
What does the screening process involve?
