The North Canton City School District will offer early childhood screenings for 3- or 4-year-old children who are residents of the North Canton City School District and are suspected of having a handicapping condition.

These screenings are available for parents who have been told their child’s development is not typical for his or her age in the areas such as vision, hearing, speech and language development, motor skills, cognitive development and social functioning. 

Special preschool services are available for children who qualify. This screening is not to determine kindergarten readiness.

The screening will be held at the Mary L. Evans Early Childhood Center March 16. 

Children will be accepted on a pre-registered basis only.  Brochures are available at all North Canton City School buildings; the North Canton Public Library; and area preschools and pediatric doctors’ offices. For more information, please call the Special Education office at 330-497-5665.

Registrations must be received by Monday, February 20, 2012.
