10A N.C. Admin. Code 09 .3006 - DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENING
(a) All children
enrolled in the NC Pre-K program shall receive a screening assessing the
development of each child, across all domains, to ensure the child is growing
and developing according to developmental milestones, unless the child has an
existing Individualized Education Program (IEP). The developmental screening
shall be conducted by a health care, community or school professional trained
in administering the screening tool. Children shall be screened within 90 days
after the first day of attendance in the program or within six months prior to
the first day of attendance. The screenings shall be used for the purpose of
identifying children to be referred for further evaluation and testing based on
concerns in one or more developmental domains.
(b) Site-level administrators shall review
all developmental screening results and shall share results with families when
results indicate a need for further evaluation of the child in one of the
domains of development: health and physical, emotional and social, cognitive,
language/communication and approaches to play and learning. The site-level
administrator will work with the family to contact the local school system's
Exceptional Children Program or other qualified resources to determine if a
child is eligible for special education, related services or other supports for
modifications in the classroom.
