About the screening process
The screening process will observe a three-four year old child’s
fine and gross motor skills (hop, skip, jump, etc.); conceptual
development skills (color, numbers, etc.); and communication skills
(speech, language, problem solving, etc.). The screening process
will give you and the school district an indication of your child’s
functioning at appropriate age levels in the above areas. You will
be informed of problem areas as well as areas of acceptable
performance.

Children 3-5 years old with potential learning difficulties
discovered by the screening may require further assessment from
the school psychologist, school social worker and/or speech
language pathologist. Should potential learning problems be
revealed through further evaluation, the child may become
eligible for an early childhood program in the fall.

Aper, Special Education Administrator for the Tri-County Special
Education Association at 217-871-5454 or
