Assessment through connection
When used by an trained examiner, as part of a child centered assessment process, assessment and screening tools allow children to show us who they are and what they are capable of. Strong assessment processes can help us determine appropriate placement, design curricula, and so much more! Unsure which assessment tool is right for your needs? We're happy to guide you through the process.
