U-234 slates screenings at preschool

Thursday, March 22, 2012

The last day to schedule an appointment for USD 234 school district and the Fort Scott Preschool Center's preschool screenings for children up to 5 years of age is March 30.

The purpose of the screenings is to test for possible developmental delays to locate and identify children who may need special education preschool and related services, a news release said. The tests screen children's vision, hearing, speech and communication, motor skills, socialization skills and general development.

The screenings will be conducted at the preschool center on April 6.

Appointments may be scheduled through Darlinda Harris at the Fort Scott Preschool Center Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
