A Next-Generation Sensory-Motor Screening Tool is in Development
Building on a trusted foundation to support modern pediatric practice
About the Project
Project Status
Currently Preparing for Pilot Testing
We are currently seeking clinicians and sites to participate in the initial testing phase.
We are creating an updated sensory–motor screening tool for children based on the foundational work of Dr. Georgia DeGangi.
Our goal is to develop a brief, play-based, and clinically meaningful screening tool that helps guide next steps in care.
- Functional, observation-based tasks
- Clear and practical scoring
- Integration of core strength, bilateral coordination, and reflex patterns
