But there are other important types of assessment that you might use or hear about in early childhood. Choose one type of assessment below and share your experiences with this type of assessment or research what is being done with this type of assessment in your state or community. 1). Developmental screenings: If you are currently working or a parent of a child and have an experience with a developmental screening, you might share your perspectives on this process if you work in a program that conducts developmental screenings.
