The five core domains are Language and Literacy, Physical Health and Motor Skills, Social and Emotional Readiness, and Approaches to Learning. Language and Literacy assesses receptive, expressive, cognitive, and math skills, including problem-solving and positional language. Because the framework includes motor skills and aligns with regular education initiatives, it enables therapists to participate in screening processes seamlessly. This involvement is crucial for proactively identifying children who may need extra support and for potentially warding off future evaluations.
