Developmental Screenings

If your child has not been identified yet, and you are concerned about their development, AESD offers free developmental screenings.

AESD’s screenings are held periodically throughout the school year for children aged two years and nine months to five.  The child must live within the AESD boundaries. Click here to view the boundary map. 

 Screenings take apporximately one hour and are held on Wednesdays from 8 AM to 12 PM. Screenings are by appointment only. Please keep in mind the following guidelines:

• The child and parent /guardian must be present
• The screening begins with a hearing and vision screening. If the child fails or cannot complete either vision or hearing for any reason, they cannot proceed to the full screening until they are evaluated by a medical professional or if the guardian has records of a recent vision and hearing screening that can be submitted to allow the child to proceed with the screening
• All children will be screened in the following areas:
  • Hearing
  • Vision
  • Communication (Speech)
  • Motor skills
  • Behavior
  • Self help skills
  • Social skills
  • Intellectual skills
• If your child is found to be below the expected level of typical development based on the screening, they will be referred for a full evaluation by the preschool team to determine if they qualify for preschool special education services
