Early Motor Screening Referral
The Early Motor Screening Program is a provincial screening program that aims to identify babies who may develop motor conditions.
An occupational therapist or physiotherapist conducts a general movements assessment (GMA). General movements are patterns we can observe during a specific time in a baby’s development. They provide information on how the baby’s central nervous system is developing and predict later motor conditions.
