Early Identification Makes a Lasting Difference
School screenings help identify students who may benefit from additional support before small concerns become bigger challenges. Our screenings provide schools with meaningful information while giving families clear guidance on next steps.
What Are School Screenings?
School screenings are brief, engaging assessments designed to identify students who may benefit from additional evaluation or support.
At Gotham Learning Partners, we provide:
- Kindergarten speech screenings to identify speech sound and articulation concerns
- Elementary language, comprehension, and literacy screenings to identify students who may benefit from further evaluation or intervention
While screenings do not provide a diagnosis, they are an effective way to identify concerns early and ensure students receive the support they need as soon as possible.
Who Can Benefit?
Our school screenings are ideal for:
- Incoming kindergarten classes
- Elementary school students
- Schools looking to identify students before concerns become more significant
- Schools expanding speech, language, or literacy services
- Schools seeking objective screening data to guide referrals and intervention
When Are Screenings Helpful?
School screenings can be especially valuable when:
- Teachers are noticing concerns across multiple students
- Incoming kindergarten students have not received speech screenings
- Students are struggling with language, comprehension, or literacy despite classroom support
- Your team wants to identify students earlier in the school year
- Your school is looking for consistent, schoolwide screening data to guide decision-making
What to Expect
We’ll work with your school to create a screening schedule that minimizes disruption to the school day.
Each screening is brief, engaging, and designed to help children feel comfortable while providing meaningful information about their communication or literacy skills.
After the screenings are complete:
- School staff receive a comprehensive summary identifying students who may benefit from additional evaluation or support.
- We provide clear recommendations for next steps, including monitoring, referral for a comprehensive evaluation, or intervention when appropriate.
Every Screening Includes a Parent Summary
Every family receives an easy-to-understand summary of their child’s screening results, along with clear recommendations for next steps when appropriate.
Because when schools and families are working from the same information, children receive support sooner.
Why Schools Choose Screenings
Early identification gives children the greatest opportunity for success.
By identifying concerns before they become barriers to learning, schools can connect students with support sooner, helping them build stronger communication and literacy skills while reducing frustration in the classroom.
