The importance of developmental screening for your child:
- Schools assess your child’s learning regularly.
- Pediatricians assess your child’s health regularly.
- Shouldn’t developmental specialists in movement, play and language assess your child as well?
The answer, of course, is yes.
The PEDI Center’s mission is to bring understanding and information to all parents on their children’s development including their strengths, their weaknesses and the best approach through play to optimize a child’s potential.
Through yearly screening PEDI Center helps parents with ‘development focus points’ within each discipline – movement, play and language – for the year. Assessments help illuminate problem areas and provide parents with the opportunity to get more comprehensive testing and early intervention if needed. Parents will have a better understanding of early childhood development and in their children specifically.
Parents are provided with a list of activities in each area specifically development for their child.
