South Parkland Healthy Child Coalition is offering free wellness screening for three-year-old children.
Coalition member Cathy Cyr says they have been offering the screening in some form for the past 20 years.
She says it covers all developmental domains for children.
"Testing cognitive skills such as numbers and shapes and colours. It also tests gross motor and fine motor skills like holding a pencil and crayons and scissors. There are some speech and language because we always find that this the one area where some children need assistance. And we do some self-help and social skills."
She adds the screening takes about 30-40 minutes to complete.
After the screening is completed, the children are given what they call a Brain Building Bag.
Children in the South Parkland who attend a licensed daycare or nursery school can access the screening through that location, or you can email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
