Functional Emotional Development Home Screening Tool

A Basic Home Screening Tool to Assess a Child's Functional Emotional Developmental Capacities

Use the following screening questionnaire (scroll down) to help you assess your child's functional emotional development.  These core six functional emotional developmental capacities are essential in the development of a person's capacity for engagement, relating, communicating, thinking, and reasoning.  

You can also sign up for a virtual consultation to learn more about the child development process and explore how DIRFloortime® may be able to help you and your child(ren).

**Not under Stress: Children sometimes do not show some of the above abilities when under stress (e.g., hunger, anger, fatigue). In these stressful situations, it is better to help them self-regulate (capacity 1) before helping them to move up the developmental ladder (move into the next stages).  Click here for a pdf version of this chart.
