Pre-School & School Screeners
Early Insights. Stronger Outcomes. Support for Every Child.
Sensia Allied Health provides professional, onsite preschool and school screeners designed to support early identification of developmental strengths and areas where a child may benefit from additional support. Delivered by experienced Occupational Therapists and Speech Pathologists, our screeners focus on key areas that underpin learning, participation and wellbeing in the early years and primary school setting.
We work closely with early learning centres and schools to make the process simple, efficient and minimally disruptive. Screenings are conducted onsite during the school day, with clear, easy-to-understand feedback provided to both educators and families. Our approach is collaborative and strengths-based, aiming to support early intervention and informed decision-making without increasing staff workload or placing pressure on children.
By identifying potential concerns early, preschool and school screeners can help ensure children receive the right support at the right time, setting strong foundations for confidence, engagement and long-term learning success.
