What areas will my child's screening address?

• Vision
• Hearing
• Language
• Social Development
• General Development such as motor skills, memory, etc...

The screening provides a review of child's skills in these areas, compared to standard milestones or expectations. This screening is different from a medical check-up, and does not take the place of visits to the doctor. This screening is in addition to your child's medical care, and aims to ensure that your little one is on track developmentally.

Please contact Nichole Bussiere, Early Childhood Coordinator, at 401-619-3162 to schedule your child's screening. We encourage you to schedule a screening once each year while your child is three, four, and five.
