Project SKIP Benefits for Schools
Educators understand that, left undiagnosed and untreated, developmental delays or cognitive and mental health disorders in children can interfere not only with school performance, but also with a child’s ability to build a successful life as an adult. This failure to diagnose also creates substantial costs for school systems.
Using simple and inexpensive screening instruments, including a new neuro-cognitive instrument, Project SKIP responds to the need for scientifically-based, comprehensive screening that schools can administer economically and efficiently, while preserving local autonomy.
Key School Benefits through Project SKIP:
- Utilizes easy-to-use, online questionnaires accompanied by comprehensive instructions tested in classrooms
- Helps to meet RTI mandates and NCLB standards
- Screens for WHY a child is failing
- Screens for cognitive and behavioral, as well as academic issues
- Supports Tier 2 assessments through additional cognitive screening
- Allows intervention and services to be designed to fit each child’s needs more precisely
Project SKIP helps to meet Response to Intervention mandates and No Child Left Behind standards.
