Lifesteps offering autism screenings
Lifesteps is offering free developmental and autism screenings for children up to 5 years old from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Oct. 11 at the Rose E. Schneider Family YMCA at 2001 Ehrman Road in Cranberry Township.
Lifesteps Child Check program provides parents with knowledge on their child’s current state of development and guides them to resources when delays are detected.
The 30-minute screening is a brief assessment using games and activities to determine a child’s level of development, and the results are discussed immediately with parents or guardians.
Notable milestones in a child’s development include certain aspects of hearing, talking, seeing, playing and basic social skills.
Appointments for in-person or online screenings are required and can be scheduled by calling Lifesteps at 724-283-1010 or 1-800-225-2010.
