Powder River Examiner -

Child Find will conduct developmental screening for children ages 0-5yrs, and will take place Thursday, May 18th, 9-4 at the Community Center in Broadus.

The students are assessed in the areas of motor skills, concepts (academic readiness), and language.

The motor skills are administered by a Physical Therapist (large motor skills) and an Occupational Therapist (small motor skills).

The concepts areas will be administered by teachers. The concepts deal with colors, naming objects, numbers, shapes, and sorting. Language assessment is completed by a speech language pathologist.

Children will have their hearing tested. Developmental Educational Assistance Program (DEAP) services will be available to do the assessments of the younger kids.

The service covers children from Powder River County and Southern Carter County, including schools in the Hawk Home, Hammond, and Alzada areas. To set up an appointment time slot call Debbie Stieg at 406-975-6588.
