DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENING

Developmental screening is a brief method completed by a professional to quickly identify a child's progress through foundational early childhood developmental milestones.

​

Why is developmental screening important?

Doctors and nurses use developmental screening to tell if children are learning basic skills when they should, or if they might have problems.

​

What age is developmental screening?

National guidelines recommend developmental screening for all children at 9 months, 18 months, and 30 months of age, and as medically necessary when risk is identified on developmental surveillance.
