This is an ongoing partnership we have with PECC to cover the cost of screening all children who are about to leave pre-school and start their formal education.
The total cost of the screening is $4000 and we hope to raise sufficient funds to donate the other $2000 in the first half of 2019.
Parkes Early Childhood staff assesses all children four years of age and above for speech/language delay.
Once the screening is completed, parents are contacted and advised of the need for further assessment if required.
An integral part of the referral process involves referral for hearing tests as well as further assessment by a speech pathologist.
This ensures children entering kindergarten will have the best possible transition from preschool to school.
