Screen and be seen
to maximise
every child’s potential.
How it came to be
Early identification of developmental delay and intervention may optimise outcomes for a child by ensuring that the child’s developmental trajectory aligns with that of a typically developing child.
However, there is a lack of validated performance-based screening tools that are applicable in the community setting for four-year-old children that screen both motor and sensory skills.
Consequently, we developed a simple, quick to perform screening tool, the Targeted Motor Control (TMC).
