During well-child visits, pediatricians use a variety of developmental screening tools to assess the growth and development of children. These tools help identify any delays or abnormalities that may require further evaluation or intervention. Here’s an overview of some commonly used developmental screening tools:
Pediatricians select the most appropriate screening tool based on the child’s age, specific concerns raised by the parents or caregivers, and the clinical judgment of the pediatrician. These tools are not diagnostic but rather help to identify children who may benefit from further evaluation or early intervention services. If a screening tool indicates a potential developmental issue, the pediatrician will typically refer the child for a more comprehensive developmental evaluation.
