Early Speech-Language-Hearing screening looks for characteristics that might identify risk for underlying disorders of learning and attention. Some benefits to early screening and possible detection include: children receiving extra help sooner and preventing then from falling behind: preventing children from being inappropriately identified as having a learning disability: or incorrectly being classified as needing special education services and supports. Screenings will be facilitated by interns from the SUNY Stony Brook Southampton Graduate Speech-Pathology-Language Program. Evaluations take approximately 30 minutes per child. Pre-registration is recommended. Children will be screened in the order in which they are registered.
All programs are for Central Islip Library cardholders only. There is a limited amount of spots available in each program. If a program fills, you will be placed on a waitlist for the event. If an available spot opens, you will be contacted and placed on the active program list.
Please be on time for programs. If you are not present by the start of the program, your place in the program is not guaranteed.
If you are unable to attend a program you are registered for, please let us know so we can alert those on the waitlist. Contact the Children's Department at 631-234-9333 x6 to cancel.
