Changes in the Initial Screening Procedure at BGCenter In order to make room in our schedule and allow more children to go through the initial screening process, the BGCenter will differentiate this procedure in 2008: For the children who are educationally at risk and will benefit from school placement below their age level, from classroom accommodations and supportive services within the general education, a written report is prepared, suitable for presentation to your school and/or referral to other specialists (as it was before). For the children who are found to be developing without significant delays and will catch up with their peers being placed at school according to their age without formal remediation, an oral consultation with the explanation of the screening findings and further recommendations may be an appropriate lower cost solution. The parents can make their
decision on the type of report/presentation they will need at the
end of the screening procedure.
