What happens during a child find screening?
During the screening, your child may stack small blocks, cut with scissors, draw, count, name colors, jump, and have fun!
After the screening, someone will talk to you about the results and you may be given suggestions, referral for more testing, or scheduled to have skills rechecked later.
