Our purpose in designing a prescriptive screening process was to offer families a cost-effective path to help confirm if therapeutic interventions are warranted, as well as to guide parents and teachers on how to support development in areas identified at risk.

BrainTools Prescriptive Screening is an abbreviated version of an assessment and is directed towards confirming a child’s risk for language and academic delays. Identifying children who are at risk can trigger early intervention prior to the onset of learning challenges, which in turn, can prevent learning challenges from taking place. Our prescriptive screening protocols include the administration of selected standardized norm-referenced measures. The measures have been intentionally selected and organized by age and grade level and are reflective of compiled research findings on the clinical markers for various neurodevelopmental disorders such as Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and Developmental Dyslexia.

Our pre-intervention baseline assessments are directed towards children who have had recent psychoeducational evaluations. Psychoeducational evaluation findings are mapped onto our Interdisciplinary Developmental Profile (IDP) and an assessment protocol is designed to supplement psychoeducational findings. Our findings are integrated with psychoeducational findings so that a targeted and individualized therapeutic intervention program can be created.
