“…21 Similarly, fewer than 50% of those with serious emotional and behavioral problems are detected before the age of 5 years. 22 Another study compared pediatricians' intuition against a complete standardized assessment for behavioral problems, demonstrating that pediatricians' sensitivity was low (~ 20%). 23 Although developmental surveillance can be a powerful identification tool, fully implementing this strategy in the context of medical practice is difficult for several reasons.…”

An estimated 5 to 10% of the pediatric population has a developmental disability. The current strategy to identify these children is through developmental surveillance, a continuous procedure in which the health professional observes the infant, takes a developmental history, and elicits any concerns that the caregiver might have. However, identification of delayed children is ineffective when based solely on routine surveillance. A necessary adjunct is developmental screening: the process of systematically identifying children with suspected delay who need further assessment. Screening tests greatly improve the rate of identification. With the advent of intervention programs and the support of organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the topic of developmental screening is a timely and essential one. This review aims to describe the properties of screening tests, to evaluate the available tools for developmental screening while providing a representative sample of the currently available developmental tests, and, finally, to evaluate the efficacy of intervention programs, a needed prerequisite to justify screening.

“…Thus measures relying on information from parents, because these can be completed in waiting or medical exam rooms, are advisable. (b) Because of the time constraints of primary care, most primary care providers rely on clinical judgment, informal checklists, and assessment of (often motor) milestones (Bierman, Connor, Vaage, & Honzik, 1964;Scott, Lingaraju, Kilgo, Kregel, & Lazzari, 1993;Shonkoff, Dworkin, Leviton, & Levine, 1979;Smith, 1978). Research suggests these techniques are inadequate and identify only 20-30% of children with developmental or mental health problems (Halfon et al, 2001;Lavigne et al, 1993;Pavluri, Luk, Clarkson, & McGee, 1995).…”

“…However, clinicians, even the very expert ones, cannot rely solely on their clinical judgment for detecting early, mild and subtle degrees of developmental delay in very young children. Less than one half of mild mental retardations and mild emotional-behavioural disorders can be diagnosed this way (Bierman et al 1964;Lavigne et al 1993;Liao & Pan 2005). They need a developmental screening instrument.…”
