Developmental Screening

Program staff can follow the processes and requirements laid out in these resources to collect information about a child’s current level of development. This screening helps identify any potential concerns in the child's behavioral, motor, language, social, cognitive, and emotional development. It also helps determine if there are any concerns that require a referral for further evaluation. These resources also cover the selection and effective use of these screening tools.
