Developmental Assessment Services

KidsInclusive provides developmental assessment services for children and youth who are experiencing challenges with their development.

If you are not sure whether your child is achieving their developmental milestones, please speak with your child’s health care provider and request a referral if appropriate. At this time, we require a physician referral for developmental assessment services at KidsInclusive.

If you are concerned about your child’s speech, language, or social communication development and live in the Lanark Leeds Grenville area please contact Language Express by calling 1-888-503-8885 or by completing the Communication Checkup at www.language-express.ca. If you live in the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington region you may contact Early Expressions by calling 1-800-267-7875 or by visiting Early Expressions Preschool Speech and Language Program for referral information. A physician referral is not required for these programs.

Developmental Services at KidsInclusive

A developmental assessment is a specialized process where the goal is to learn more about a child’s developmental profile. Through this process you will learn more about your child’s developmental strengths and needs in areas such as speech and language, motor skills, play, social skills, behaviour, and early learning. A developmental assessment may result in your child receiving a developmental diagnosis such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Global Developmental Delay, or Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.

Our developmental assessments are provided by professionals who specialize in assessing developmental disabilities. Sometimes the assessment may involve more than one professional to help support the needs of the child and family.
