A few weeks ago Campbell

THE HERALD, TERRACE, B.C,

Health Parade. Returns

In 1973. the Terrace and
Smithers offices of the Skeena
Health Unit offered pre-school
screening at the four year old
level for the first time. The
interest shown by Lhe com-
munities was really en-
couraging, and we feel this type
of screening should be offered
again. This year, all larger
offices in this Health Unit are’

planning pre-school screening”

ys.

Early identification of -
problems in such areas as
vision, hearing, language

development and motor control
is useful to allow parents to
obtain help fer the child before
he goes to school. For example,

a child whe cannot hear.

properly will not be able . to
listen to what an adult tells him
and may be thought to ‘be
disobedient until his problem is
identified.

We have chosen four year olc

children as the group to screer. .

_to understand. and follow ‘the

{nstructions for the tests.- When

‘you bring your child to the

Health Unlt. for the Health

Parade we try to make his’ ,

experience pleasant and en-
jayable..The child is’ weighed
and his height is measured. He
will be shown’ a “fly” in
three dimensions to test his
ability lo see objects in depth.
His vision will be checked using
simple chart of hearts, squares
and circles. He will be asked to
respond . to sounds . while
wearing a pair of earphones.
Each child will participate in
the, Denver Developmental
Sereening Test (DDST). Many

. health units find the DDST a

useful method of assesing the
development . of young
children. The child is asked to
perform simple lasks lo show

his development in four Key '

areas: *
“1, the use of his’ large
muscles (e, Bes hopping running,

2. the ‘use of his sme

- muscles (e.g., ability to.use his

hands and contract his fingers).

- 3 -his ability lo understand

and use language." -

-4, his ability 10 take care of
himself and~ get along’ with
others. (e.g., dress himself},

Some of the tasks will be easy
for your child, but to determine

‘the level he has reached he will

also bé asked to do things that *
he may be unable to do at his
age. Most children - think the
DDST is fun’ and enjoy
demonstrating their skills. .
The DDST is useful in -poin--
ting out areas in which the child
is or is not developing according
to the expectation for his or her
age: When these areas are
discussed-with parents there is .
opportunity for an exchange of
ideas on how the child may be
stimulated. For example, a

‘child who comes from a home

‘where English is the second
language -may. need more -
