Back-to-School Screenings
During the summer months, we provide FREE Back-to-School physical therapy screenings!
Do your feel your child is falling behind, unable to keep up with other children their age, or just having difficulty mastering a specific task or skill that impacts their academic success? We are available to offer FREE Back-to-School screenings to assess your child’s needs.
Why are screenings so important?
Research shows that early intervention can greatly improve a child's development. Screenings offer the reassurance to families that have questions about their child(ren).
What should we expect during a screening?
During the screen, our therapist will assess a child's gross motor skills, sensory responses, and behavior tendencies to see if therapy is recommended or if they are developing at a typical pace/rate. The therapist will ask what concerns you have and functional results you would like to see.
Can I attend with my child?
Absolutely! Parents, guardians, or caregivers are required to attend the free screening. We want your child to be as comfortable as possible and oftentimes, that's with you! Our therapist will have questions related to developmental tendencies and would like your input on the child's typical presentation with physical tasks, emotional responses, and daily behaviors.
What is the difference between screen and evaluation?
A screen is a quick overview to see if there are any areas of development that would benefit from a formal evaluation. Evaluations included formal assessments, standardized testing, and recommendations with a plan of care/goals for ongoing therapy sessions.
