Developmental & Sensory Screening

A child's first few years are when their brain develops the most, with 90% of brain development happening by the time a child enters kindergarten. Regular hearing, vision and developmental milestone screenings ensure your child's development is on track. Screenings can also identify challenges early so your child can get the help they need to reach their full potential.

The Developmental and Sensory Screening (DSS) program, supported by First Things First, provides educational resources and free hearing, vision and developmental milestone screenings to help keep your child's development and health on track.
