DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENING & ASSESSMENT

NOW DISTRIBUTED BY BROOKES! NEW

Well Screening® Research Edition By Barbara Ekelman, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Debra A. Dutka, M.A., CCC-SLP, & Karen St. Amour, M.A. Today’s schools have been tasked with identifying risk for learning disabilities before children have a chance to fail—and the earlier identification starts, the better. The Well Screening® tool is your quick, reliable, and comprehensive way to identify kindergarten students (ages 4–6) who are at risk for learning disabilities, including developmental language disorders, dyslexia, ADHD, dyscalculia, and speech sound disorders. With just one 20-minute screener, you can examine student performance in multiple skill areas that predict their future success in school. BENEFITS:

“The best kindergarten screener available...great for detecting kiddos with reading difficulty and speech and language needs.”—Lisa

Sandoval, M.A., CCC-SLP, Executive Director of Dynamic Therapy Solutions, Los Angeles

“Truly takes online screening for suspected speech, language, and learning disabilities to a new level.”—Stacy Williams, Ph.D., CHSE, ASHA Fellow, Professor and Simulation Education Expert

“Shows the growth my students make over the course of a school year and helps guide my teaching to best support each individual learner.”—Lauren Brown, Teacher, Private School

• Identifies at-risk students early, so that further evaluation and intervention can be provided as soon as possible. • Covers areas missed by other screeners—looks at many domains that research identifies as important for school success. • Pinpoints specific strengths and weaknesses in areas that matter most for academic success. • Fun and engaging, with animated characters that kids love to interact with. • Easy for adults to administer and score. • Digital-only format that can also be delivered via Zoom or other video interface. • Great for monitoring the child’s progress in the fall, winter, and spring of the kindergarten year. HOW IT WORKS

An engaging online screener with an animated, game-like interface, Well Screening is a more in-depth tool for use after a universal screening questionnaire. It includes 10 subtests that examine skills in the following key domains: receptive language, expressive language, social communication, early literacy, reading, attention, math calculation, speech sound production, and motor skills. Administered on a computer or tablet, Well Screening is completed by the student, who responds to prompts from animated characters. Once the screening is complete, Well Screening automatically generates a detailed learning profile of the child’s skills and areas of need, with scaled scores and percentile ranks included to help guide instruction for targeted areas.
