Screenings are offered to children who are suspected of having developmental issues in the areas of language development, fine and gross motor development, social skills and/or early learning. A team of educators, including an Early Childhood Teacher, Speech/ Language Pathologist, School Psychologist and an Occupational Therapist will use the DIAL-R screening tool along with a parent interview to complete the screening. The screening takes approximately 45 - 60 minutes. Parents are required to attend the screenings and are given the opportunity to ask questions and express any concerns they may have regarding their child. Results of the screening will be discussed with parents and, if the results of the screening indicate delays in one or more areas, the assessment team will refer the child for a more in-depth assessment. If potential problems are detected in any of the screening areas, the child may qualify to receive specialized services through the Avoca Community Preschool, a very highly regarded blended preschool program. Early developmental screening has a positive impact and aims to help children with special needs get a strong start in school. For more information and to schedule an appointment for a screening with Avoca Community Preschool, please contact Dawn Scaramuzza at (847) 728-4142 or at preschool@avoca37.org.
