Preschool Comprehensive Assessment & Treatment Program

The Preschool Comprehensive Assessment & Treatment (PCAT) Program is part of the Infant and Preschool Assessment Service (IPAS) at the Glenrose. It is a service that assesses young children with delays in growth and age-related milestones and the ways they relate and engage with others.

The PCAT Program looks at children with more serious needs compared to those in the Infant and Preschool Assessment Service (IPAS).

Assessment is tailored to each child and family, which may include:

  • watching them at home and school,
  • using standardized tests, and
  • taking part in a preschool classroom group.
