WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

If you suspect that your child has a delay in pre-academic skills, language skills, motor skills, social skills or self help skills, you can request a FREE developmental screening. If the results of the screening indicate possible delays, children are evaluated by professionals using standardized tests, observation, and parent interview. The results are then reviewed by the parent and evaluators to determine if an area of eligibility exists for placement into the GRIC Preschool.
