Upcoming screenings in McPherson

The Early Childhood Program and McPherson County Special Education Cooperative will have preschool screenings during the school year at various places throughout McPherson County.

These screenings are a valuable tool that can be used by the parents of children up to the age of 5 to discover any areas of development that needs attention. The screening tests hearing, vision, motor skills and other areas of childhood development.
