Does your child attend Hand in Hand Preschool? We have screening staff available on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons to screen your child while they are at preschool. Please sign up for this spot if you would like your child screening during the school-day. Are you still interested but your child attends in the morning or a different time other the ones listed above? There still might be an opportunity for your child to be screened at school if that works better in your family schedule. Sign up for this course and someone from the office will contact you. The office will contact you with some paperwork that we just need you to complete before we screen them during the school day. We will follow up with you after we screen your child with the results.
