Early Screening Inventory (ESI-R)

---

The Early Screening Inventory-Revised (ESI-R) is a brief developmental screening instrument that is individually administered to children aged 3 through 5 years. It samples performance in the areas of speech, language, cognition, perception, and motor coordination. Children are screened within the first 45 days of enrollment.

• Children enrolled in their second year of HS do not need to be re-screened.
• Use the ESI-P form for children ages three through four years, six months.
• Use the ESI-K form for children ages four years, six months to six years.
• Parents complete the ESI-R Parent Questionnaire form to satisfy the social-emotional screening component.
• Children with an existing IEP will receive the screener but do not need to be re-screened or referred.
  
  

Each center is provided a screening kit which includes the materials needed to complete the screening as well as the ESI-R Examiner's Manual to reference when completing the scoring. Record completed scores on the ESI-R Composite form below and submit to your CCSC. Continue to add to the form as you may experience drops and adds throughout the school year.
