When the screening process is complete, an education professional will share the results with parents and address any concerns or questions. The entire screening process is completed within approximately 1 hour.
What happens for an online screening?
You will complete a questionnaire online answering questions about your child’s overall development. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Upon completing the questionnaire, someone from the Menasha Early Childhood department will follow up with you to address strengths, concerns or any questions you may have. You will also have the option of receiving additional resources through Help Me Grow Fox Valley.
