Evaluations

Screening or Evaluation
Which one is right for your child?
It's important to understand that a screening is not the same as an evaluation. A screening provides a quick assessment of a student's skills, which can help identify if the student has fallen behind. Based on the screening results, therapists can determine whether a more detailed evaluation is necessary.
