Functional developmental screening for families who know something doesn't quite fit — but don't yet have a clear picture of why.

You don't need a diagnosis to start understanding your child.
Developmental screening is simply a way of taking a closer look at how your child is developing — their communication, learning, feelings, relationships and everyday skills.
It's not a test of your child's worth. It's not a label. It's a structured, evidence-informed way of seeing the whole picture, so you can understand where your child is thriving and where they might need a little more support.
Think of it as a map, not a verdict. It shows you what's going on — and where to go from here.
Screening considers the areas that shape how your child learns, connects and copes day to day.
Expressing needs and ideas, and understanding others.
How your child takes in, remembers and works with information.
Managing feelings, forming friendships and feeling secure.
Everyday independence — self-care, organisation and routines.
The skills that help a child settle and participate at school.
What your child does well — and where support would make the most difference.
Our screening is non-diagnostic. It doesn't put a name on your child or sort them into a box.
Instead, it gives you insight — a clear understanding of how your child's development is tracking, what's supporting them, and what might help next.
If a formal diagnosis is ever needed, we'll guide you to the right professionals. But understanding comes first.
Nothing vague. Nothing overwhelming. Just what you need to move forward with confidence.
A straightforward summary of what the screening showed — in language that makes sense.
