Developmental Screening
-
The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that children receive Developmental Screening at the ages of 9, 18, 24 or 30, 36, and 48 months.
If a child is experiencing delays, it is important to provide intervention as soon as possible.
Research demonstrates that the sooner a child receives intervention, the better his or her chances are of developing age appropriate skills, and not needing remediation or special education services later in life.
In Christina, each family who completes the online ASQs will receive the following:
- Screening results
- A packet explaining developmental milestones
- A packet describing developmentally appropriate activities for home
If a child’s scores indicate potential delays, the family will be notified and provided with information regarding how to request additional testing.
