Therapeutic screenings are still free at the McCarty Center
6 The J. D. McCarty Center for children with developmental disabilities conducts FREE therapeutic screenings of children who have unique challenges or a disability, or for parents who have concerns about their child’s development Our screening team is composed of a pediatrician, nurse, social worker and psychology clinician. When the team has completed their screening process they will sit down with you to review what services are available for your child here at the McCarty Center as well as through other community, state and federal programs.
If your kids happen to get tired of the three playgrounds at Edmond’s impressive Hafer Park, there’s always the sparkling fishing pond.

An abundance of play structures makes Stars & Stripes Park ideal even on crowded weekend days. Plan extra time at the park to explore the paved trail that surrounds Lake Hefner.
Today, more than ever before, we are an important resource for Oklahoma parents. We have been working with children for 71-years to help them achieve their highest level of function and independence. The screening is absolutely free-ofcharge. Call 405.307.2800 and ask to speak to a social worker for more information and to make your appointment.
