Why Complete a Developmental Screening?
Developmental screening is a routine monitoring process used by pediatricians to identify developmental delays in children. This screening process can help identify delays that may indicate autism, intellectual disability, speech delays, etc. Early detection via developmental screenings is a valuable tool that helps treat development issues promptly and often leads to improved outcomes.
Screenings are performed during well-child checkups and will include questionnaires and/or questions that your pediatrician will ask during the visit. This only takes a few minutes at each doctor’s visit, but it can play a major role in identifying and then treating early developmental conditions.
