Stars of the Future is a FREE preschool screening program for children ages 3-31/2, living in South East Manitoba. It is a onetime appointment to find out how your child is doing in the areas of speech and language, hearing, growth and development. Children that were born between July 1 and December 31, 2014 are invited to attend.
The appointment is about one hour long. When you arrive, someone will check you in. Your child will be given a sticker sheet to take to each room where they will receive a sticker when they have completed the activities. You may have a short wait until the appointments from the previous hour are completed. There will be books for you and your child to read together while you wait. You and your child will then go to four different stations and see the following: a public health nurse; a speech language pathologist; an occupational therapist; and a physiotherapist. At the end, your child will receive a small snack of Teddy grahams and apple juice. Questions and concerns about your child’s development may be addressed during the appointment. This appointment may lead to a referral for further assessment.
