Developmental Screening

Developmental screening provides parents and professionals with information on whether a child’s development is similar to other children of the same age. Screening involves the use of a standardized screening tool.

School and Sport Physicals

The sports physical exam is known as a pre-participation physical examination (PPE). The exam helps determine whether it’s safe for your child to participate in a particular sport. Most sports programs require children and teens to have a sports physical before they can start a new sport or begin a new competitive season.
