Preschool Neurodevelopmental Evaluations
Preschool neurodevelopmental evaluations help determine whether your child continues to meet developmental milestones in an age-appropriate way, supporting children as they transition from daycare to structured preschool or kindergarten classrooms
What to Expect During a Preschool Neurodevelopmental Evaluation
A preschool neurodevelopmental evaluation assesses whether or not your child is attaining developmental milestones in an age-appropriate way.
While some parents prefer to “wait and see” if their child catches up to peers, it is best to seek out an evaluation if you have concerns. Early intervention is key—the earlier the intervention, the more success we observe.
Preschool neurodevelopment evaluations can answer questions such as:
- Is my child developing typically?
- Is my child ready for kindergarten?
- I’ve noticed other children are able to do things my child cannot. Should I be worried?
- How will my child’s medical condition impact them as they begin school?
- What plans should be put in place at school to help my child succeed?
