Why Should Your Child be Screened?
The purpose of a screening is to find out if there are areas of concern that need evaluation. All screenings are FREE of charge and last about fifteen minutes.
If the screening indicates your child does not demonstrate any areas of concern, then no further action is needed at this time.
If the screening identifies that your child presents with red flags that are not developmentally appropriate, it will be recommended to complete a comprehensive evaluation.
Sometimes clinicians will suggest a re-screening in the future.

Keaton has met his goal of being able to put a shirt on with correct orientation independently 4/5 times! This is so awesome! When Keaton first started OT, he was able to get himself dressed but would put clothing on backwards. He spent several sessions learning to check for hints on his clothing and working on his spatial orientation skills. Now, Keaton can put on his shirt no matter which way it is turned (inside out, backwards, or upside down) and he is even becoming more independent when dressing at home! Keep up the good work!
