For parents wanting a better understanding of how their child grows and develops, to learn ways to support their child's development, Ontario now has the license to share a helpful child screening tool. The Nippissing District Developmental Screen, or NDDS, is available free through the internet at:

  • http://www.ndds.ca/ontario/home.html
  • Parents can use this tool to discuss their child's development with their health care provider at the 18 month visit, or before, if they have concerns.
