Screening checklists for comprehension for c 36 months

[isa barriere]

Hi Kirsten,

Here in the US, the recommendation for Head Start programs (preschool
programs that receive federal support) includes:
- Brigance developmental screening
- Age and Stage Questionnaire (a Spanish version exists)

that includes lexical, grammatical, visuo-spatial and motor subtests.

On this website you can find more info on these tools:

I hope this helps,

Isabelle Barriere, PhD
