● On-Campus Screenings
Helping children reach their full potential
A developmental screen is a series of standardized, quick, and non-invasive tests. These help detect conditions that may impact a child’s social, emotional, cognitive, speech, language, academic, and physical development.
Our therapists conduct a variety of developmental screenings on campus through school-wide programs and by referral to ensure all students receive the support they need.
Program
Each screening is conducted by a specialist with appropriate accreditation relevant to the test.

- Hearing ScreeningA hearing screening detects children who may have temporary or permanent hearing issues that can impact social, emotional, speech, language, and academic development. Our screening consists of pure tone audiometry measuring the ability to hear sounds at normal thresholds, and tympanometry which detects middle ear problems like fluid, infection, or eardrum perforations.
- Denver Developmental Screening TestThe Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) identifies developmental delays in children up to 6 years old. The screening covers the following areas of development: Gross motor skills, fine motor skills, language ability, and personal-social skills.
- Vision ScreeningA vision screening identifies children who may have eye conditions and vision problems that directly impacts their ability to achieve academically, socialize, and enjoy extracurricular activities. By measuring visual acuity (clarity, or seeing 20/20) and assessing binocular vision (eye-brain) function, a vision screen covers all the components of healthy vision such as visual pathway integrity and visual efficiency.
- Postural & Gait ScreeningThis screening detects musculoskeletal imbalances, postural deviations, and movement irregularities that may impact a child’s physical development, balance, coordination, and overall well-being. It evaluates standing posture, spinal alignment, weight distribution, foot placement, stride length, and balance. This helps identify muscular imbalances, scoliosis indicators, or improper body positioning, as well as compensatory movements that may indicate muscle weakness or joint instability.
- Dyslexia & Literacy ScreeningThis screening evaluates a child's reading and comprehension skills. It is available for children in Year 1-9/ K-Grade 8, allowing educators, parents, and specialists to identify students who may require additional support and intervention in their literacy development. By detecting potential difficulties early, literacy screening helps prevent minor challenges from becoming significant barriers to academic success.

and have found the team to be organized, communicative,
and flexible. I’ve recommended Sunny Start to teachers
at other schools for this very reason."

"We’re lucky to be able to work with someone as skilled
and empathetic as Dao. In Thailand, it’s unfortunately quite difficult
to find a speech-language pathologist with the same level of
experience as well as genuine compassion."

"Sunny Start works effectively with school teachers.
We considered a few other speech therapist providers,
but decided to go with Sunny Start because
of their strong relationship with Wellington College."

"Sunny Start’s therapists are patient and share helpful session notes.
Our child sees another therapist at a different learning center
and we’ve found Sunny Start to be very collaborative. They also make therapy fun!"
