Taking the First Step

Free Screenings

If you're not sure whether your child is reaching their milestones, drop in for a free developmental screening!

During your child's screening, our developmental experts will ask you some questions and observe your child's skills during play. Based on the results, we'll let you know if we think a full evaluation is needed, or refer you to another community program such as the Tennessee Early Intervention System (TEIS).

Free screenings take place at our office on the first Friday of each month, from 9:00-11:00 AM. We also offer free developmental screenings to preschools and Mother's Day Out programs in the Memphis area. Contact us to learn more!

Comprehensive Evaluations

We'll start with an evaluation to identify your child's developmental strengths and challenges. During the evaluation, our team will gather information through:

Parent interviews
Clinical observations
Standardized tests
Play-based interactions

Following the evaluation, our team will create personalized goals and a care plan for your child. Your child's plan will guide our therapy sessions, alongside their Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) from the Tennessee Early Intervention System (TEIS). A formal evaluation report will be shared with you and your TEIS Service Coordinator.

Supporting Your Child's Early Development

Early Intervention (Birth to Age 5)

We help little ones reach their milestones... one word, bite, or step at a time. From playing with toys and reading books to eating snacks and exploring the playground, everyday moments are full of opportunities to learn and grow. Our EI services support your child's communication, motor, and social-emotional development in the real world, as they go about their day.

Parents are part of the team, too! We'll show you simple strategies that you can use wherever you go, and give you the confidence to be your child's most influential teacher.

The Pediatric Learning Center is a therapy Vendor and an Early Intervention Resource Agency (EIRA) for the Tennessee Early Intervention System (TEIS). Eligible infants and toddlers with disabilities or developmental delays may receive services from birth until the start of the school year following their 5th birthday.
