Early identification can play an important role in helping students engage, learn and feel confident at school.
Our Developmental Screening provides a gentle, evidence-informed way to better understand how a student is developing. Using validated screening tools alongside observation and input from families and educators, we build a picture of each student’s strengths, areas for further consideration and where additional support may be helpful.
Screening takes place at your school in small groups of up to three students. Following the screening, each student receives an individual written summary with practical recommendations, and we meet with nominated school staff to talk through the findings and plan meaningful next steps.
Developmental Screening is not a diagnostic assessment. It provides an informed starting point for deciding whether closer monitoring, additional support or further assessment may be helpful.
