Tewksbury Public Schools conducts periodic developmental screenings for three-and four-year-old children. This screening is designed to review a child’s development and to assist in determining appropriate supports that may be needed for developing preschool-aged children. The Tewksbury Integrated Preschool conducts screenings throughout the year. The DIAL-4 screening instrument is used. The screening team is composed of an Early Childhood Specialist, Speech and Language Pathologist, and preschool Teaching Assistants. The team is coordinated by the principal/Preschool Coordinator. At the time of the screening, parents receive information about child development. Parents also have the opportunity to speak with specialists regarding any concerns they may have about their child’s development. The screening activities occur within the preschool classroom. Children have an opportunity to play in a small group to screen communication and social skills.
