If your child is approaching school age, you may be wondering how you can best prepare him or her for success in the classroom.
The truth is, each child can grow and develop at a different pace – from academically to emotionally to socially, and even when it comes to problem solving and interacting with others.
And early childhood can be a period of growth while also presenting certain struggles or challenges that a child may be experiencing.
This is where school readiness and development testing can come in as a valuable tool for helping your child excel at school and in daily life.
Ann Arbor Therapy & Testing offers school readiness and developmental testing for kids that can provide the building blocks for success in what’s ahead.

Could your child benefit from developmental testing?
Ann Arbor Therapy & Testing specializes in testing for children, and our therapists understand that every child’s journey is different.
Uncovering any potential challenges or issues early on can be a key part of building a strong foundation for the future when it comes to academics and confidence.
Developmental and school readiness testing at our office helps to gauge a child’s abilities in many areas and learn where additional growth and support may be needed.
Our assessments are comprehensive and customized to each child and they utilize science-backed methods.
They go further than just colors or letters. Testing includes analyzing abilities in managing emotions, integrating in learning settings, following directions and emotional regulation.
We know that there are areas that are interconnected that contribute to development skills, including:
- Motor skills and abilities, including handwriting and coordination
- Social skills, including ability to connect with peers, share and adapt to social settings
- Emotional skills, including expressing and regulating emotion
- Cognitive skills, including attention, memory and problem solving
- Language skills, including vocabulary, listening skills and verbal communication
When we assess these areas, we can identify a child’s strengths as well as any delays they may be experiencing in order to address them early. This can guide parents on how to proceed with their child’s developmental needs going forward.
Our therapy treatment options can include a variety of methods, including behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy and resources for parents.
Information on where your child stands developmentally can be one of the most important tools a parent can have.
