Hi dear mommies.

Some of us got it by mail, but those who didn't or didn't have time to look into it, here is some info:

The NDDS is currently being offered completely free of charge to residents of Ontario, as part of an initiative with the Ministry of Children & Youth Services.

Screening tool that proactively identifies problem areas in a child's development. Early identification is the first step in early intervention.

The NDDS was compiled by a multi-disciplinary team. This easy to use tool examines thirteen key developmental stages: 1 & 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months, 18 months, 2 years, 30 months, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years and 6 years.

The Screen explores a child's skills in the following areas: vision, hearing, speech, language, communication, gross motor, fine motor, cognitive, social/emotional and self-help.

When you go to the website click on "Ordering" and then you will get instructions on how to receive Developmental Screen that will be sent to your email address.

I found it pretty interesting.
