Other Notes
neuroBridge will be completing OT Developmental screenings on September 19 & 20. The purpose of these screenings is to see if your child’s motor skills and visual perceptual skills are developing as expected. During the screening, a licensed neuroBridge Occupational Therapist will determine if your child needs further testing based on the results of the screening tool. The cost of the screening is $15.
Parents: this will only be OT developmental screenings. The form has an option for ST (speech therapy) because it is a master for all schools. Make sure to choose OT screening when completing the form.
The 2024-2025 calendar can be found HERE.
