| All children should be screened for
developmental
needs before two years of age and ideally two times before five years
of
age.
Free
developmental screenings for children age birth to five are offered on
an on-going basis, including large community screenings in both
Sheridan
and Buffalo in August. Families can bring children to these
screenings
to assess their development in the areas of hearing, speech / language
skills, cognitive and adaptive skills, motor functioning, and social /
emotional development.
Staff
members provide information and resources
to parents as well as further evaluation and services to children
indicating
a need during screening.
Last
year, we provided over 600 screenings
to children in Sheridan and Johnson Counties.
If you
are a resident of Sheridan or Johnson
Counties and would like to schedule a screening, please call us at
1-877-672-6610.
