Screening for 3-and 4-year-olds

GRAFTON - The Grafton School District will conduct an early childhood screening for 3-and 4-year-old children who are residents of the district and who are suspected of having significant delays in their development. For the child to participate in this screening, it must be suspected that he or she has developmental delays significant enough to be considered educationally handicapping.

The purpose of the screening is to identify children who may benefit from an early educational intervention program for disabled children.

The screening, which lasts about an hour, is a brief series of tests to help determine which children have suspected exceptional education needs. Areas that will be screened are learning and thinking, speech and language and motor development. Parents will also be asked to fill out a form about their child's social and emotional growth.

The screening will be held at Grafton Elementary School Friday morning, March 23. Please call the district office at 262-376-5416 to set up an appointment or for answers to any further questions you might have.
