Primary 1 Readiness Screenings Set For July

The Department of Health is advising that primary 1 readiness screening will be held from July 3 – 17, 2019, at the CedarBridge Academy library.

There will be three components to this year’s screening, Speech and Language [S&L], Occupational Therapy [OT] and Physical Therapy [PT].

Each area will assess the student’s ability to ensure their skill development is at an appropriate level. In the event a student does not pass the screening, another appointment will be scheduled for a full assessment.

“All students entering public primary school in September 2019, who have not been previously identified, will need to be screened. The process can last anywhere from 20-60 minutes depending on the number of screenings given to a child,” the Department said.

“Parents will be contacted to schedule screening appointments with therapists, and it is strongly advised that all children attend and complete the screening process.”
