During Community Screening Sessions, the staff engages the visiting kids in fun Brain Highways activities. At that same time, the visiting adults participate in a mini-training to learn how to interpret what they’ll observe during their child’s lower brain assessment.
We then do an assessment of each of the visiting kids. All adults at the Community Screenings are invited to stay and observe each of the kid’s screenings. That’s because two main points are emphasized by watching multiple kids’ screenings:
1) As emphasized in the mini-training, kids will respond in one of several specific ways to each assessment challenge—and what they do is directly linked their current level of brain development. While it’s one thing to note such correlation in the mini-training, it’s quite another to actually observe that during each child’s assessment.
2) Age has no bearing on whether lower brain development is complete. For example, it’s not uncommon for the oldest child to show the least amount of brain development out of all the evening’s assessments.
Community Screening Sessions also provide time to ask questions and enroll in the program.

What do I need to do to attend a Community Screening Session?
If you’d like your child screened, please submit a San Diego Free Screening request so we know when you’re coming.
If you’re coming just to learn about the program (i.e. you do not have a child to be screened), still please submit the form, but just leave the child’s name section blank.
To benefit the most from the Community Screening Session, we ask that you watch the six introductory videos, and read Brain Development, and Brain Highways Basics before you come.
