social- emotional screening
GOAL: All children in southern Illinois, ages birth through five (5), will be screened for social-emotional concerns which may put children at risk for potential health, developmental, or behavioral problems.
Just as it is important to screen young children for developmental delays, it is also important to screen for social, emotional and behavioral concerns. By identifying these concerns, along with children's social and emotional strengths, teachers and caregivers can build on those strengths utilizing research based strategies to help build children's resilience. Screening also helps identify children who need more evaluation do that serious concerns can be addressed before they become bigger problems.
It is the goal of Coalition members, that ALL children throughout the region receive this screening at least once before they enter school. Programs throughout the region use a variety of different screening tools. based on specific criteria deemed important to their programs. Some of the most widely in the region's early childhood settings used include: Ages and Stages-Social Emotional (ASQ_-SE) , the Brigance, the Devereaux and the Dial 4.
During FY 2019, Coalition members began collecting data on the number of social emotional screening that has been administered throughout the region.
