The Cosmopolis School District will offer free developmental screenings for children who are Cosmopolis residents from birth through 5 years of age, on Friday, Sept. 27. Appointments will be scheduled between 8:30 to 10:30 a.m.

Families living in a temporary situation, may contact the district where they are staying to attend a screening. Parents with concerns for children ages 5 to 21, may contact the school office any time, to schedule a screening for their child.

The purpose of the screening is to assist parents who may have concerns about their child’s development. The screenings will help identify potential problems which may affect the child’s success in school, and will indicate if further evaluation and/or special services may be needed. The screenings will be in the following developmental areas — vision, hearing, speech, language, motor skills, social/emotional and learning.

To schedule an appointment, call Cherie Patterson with the Cosmopolis School District Office at 360-532-7181.
