6 Early Identification of Developmental and Behavioral Disorders Paul H. Lipkin, M.D. 6

7 Children with special health care needs (2009/10): US vs. MD ( 7

8 CSHCN and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD; 2009/2010): US vs. MD 8

9 Prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorders United States, 2010 (MMWR 2014) 9 11 ADDM sites age 8 yrs Prevalence 14.7/1,000 (1:68) per 1,000 1 in 42 boys 1 in 189 girls Increase of 29% from 2010; 64% from 2006; 123% from 2002

10 10 ASD Age of Diagnosis (CDC 2012) Median earliest age ASD documented 4 years, 6 months Subtype Autistic Disorder 4 years, 0 months ASD/PDD 4 years, 5 months Asperger Disorder 6 years, 3 months

12 Developmental Screening: Why Early Identification? Improved developmental, social, educational outcome? Rights of Persons with Disabilities Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA): Early Intervention, Special Education Americans with Disabilities Act Family and Social Support New Genetic Diagnostic Testing E.g. Chromosome Microarray, Fragile X New Medical and Surgical Treatments E.g. Botulinum toxin, intrathecal baclofen, enzyme replacement New Therapeutic Modalities E.g. Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) 12

13 13 Hearing Impairment: Benefits of Early ID Yoshinaga-Itano, et al., 1996 Language abilities measured by parent report using the Minnesota Child Development Inventory (expressive and comprehension scales) and the MacArthur Communicative Developmental Inventories (vocabulary).

15 Consensus Statement: The International Standard Cytogenomic Array (ISCA) Consortium DT Miller, et. al. AJHG studies; 21,698 patients with unexplained DD/ID, ASD, or MCA G-banded karyotype yield ~ 3% (excluding Down syndrome, other recognizable syndromes) CMA yield 15%-20% higher sensitivity for submicroscopic deletions and duplications Balanced rearrangements and low-level mosaicism not detectable by arrays (<1% in this population) Available evidence strongly supports the use of CMA in place of G-banded karyotyping as the first-tier cytogenetic diagnostic test for patients with DD/ID, ASD, or MCA. G-banded karyotype analysis should be reserved for patients with obvious chromosomal syndromes (e.g., Down syndrome), a family history of chromosomal rearrangement, or a history of multiple miscarriages. 15

29 DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENING: GETTING STARTED Virginia Keane, MD Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital Primary Care for Children with Special Health Care Needs

30 Questions to Consider Why: Dr Lipkin covered this What: what tool will you choose? Who: who in your setting will be responsible? Where? Where will screening occur, where will you keep the results? When? Before, during or after a visit? How? How will you get started, how will you bill?

31 What? What screening tool will you choose?

32 Some Issues to Consider in Selecting a Tool Psychometrics: sensitivity/specificity Time/staffing required Cost and reimbursement Parent-completed versus directly administered Cultural and linguistic sensitivity

33 Approved General Developmental Screening Tools for Maryland EPSDT Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) Parents Evaluation of Developmental Status (PEDS) +/- PEDS: DM Battelle Developmental Inventory Screening Tool, 2nd edition Brigance Screens-II Early Screening Inventory Revised FirstSTEP Preschool Screening Tool

34 Parent-Completed Screens: Advantages As accurate as screens using other measurement methods Take less physician/staff time (which may translate into less cost) Don t depend upon cooperation of child during office visit Bring parents more fully into screening process

35 Consider Cultural and Linguistic Issues Parent literacy: reading level of parent-completed tools Language: availability of tool in languages represented in your population because translations may not be valid Who cares for the child and has the most knowledge of his/her ability?

36 Screening Tool Comparison: ASQ vs. PEDS, parent completed screens Instrument Description Cost Admin Time Psychometrics Literacy/ Language issues ASQ Use 4-60 months 19 agebased forms 30 items per age $199 per language Unlimited copies Paper or on disc minutes parent Sens: (mod-high) Spec: (mod-high) 5 th grade level English, Spanish, French, and Korean PEDS Use 0-8 years Single response form for all ages 10 items $30 per 50 survey forms :60 cents each and$70 manual 2-10 minutes parent Sens: (moderate) Spec: (moderate) 5 th grade level English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Arabic, Somali, etc

37 Autism Screening Several tools are available but the one that is time and finance feasible is the MCHAT. MCHAT is in the public domain: download the tool and scoring guide from the internet Parent completes the questionnaire It needs to be scored, results and action recorded.

38 When? Before the visit, at home: how will you get the tool to family, who will remind them to complete it, bring it in. During the visit? Every visit? Give parents online access so they can do it whenever they want, contact you with concerns

39 Who? Who will do each of these tasks? Make sure the screening tools are available Give the screens to the parent Collect the screen from the parent Score the tool Share result with parent Record the results

40 Who? Who will do each of these tasks? Make sure the screening tools are available: clerk Give the screens to the parent: clerk/ma/nurse Collect the screen from the parent: clerk/ma/nurse Score the tool? Clerk/ma/nurse Share result with parent? Clerk/ma/nurse/doc Record the results? Ma/nurse, but provider should document the plan In non medical settings anyone can perform this screening

41 Where? Where will parents complete the screening? Home? Gives parents the chance to observe their child while completing the tool Office: waiting room? exam room? Where will you record and store the results? Paper chart? Electronic record : you can create templates to record details or just the final result: all EPSDT wants is a summary statement such as : asq performed, passed, routine anticipatory guidance or PEDS performed, failed, referred to infants and toddlers

42 How To Get Started Involve your staff: Developmental screening takes lots of steps, and many staff members, so it helps to involve them in the implementation. Teach your staff why screening is important: They will be much more likely to follow through if they understand. Get their ideas on who,when, where and how to get this important work done in your setting. Measure your completion rates, tweak your process as needed, use quality improvement.

43 How to deal with results? An action should be taken for failed and at risk results. This can be a plan to rescreen, guidance on how to stimulate development, or referral to early intervention, developmental specialist, and/or medical specialists. Referrals should be tracked This will be covered in detail in a later webinar.

44 How? How to Bill Use code 96110, developmental screening to bill for use of the PEDS or the ASQ. You must keep documentation of the tool used, the result, and the plan You can bill for 2 units of per visit, so if you perform the MCHAT for autism screening at the same visit you can bill for both.

45 Questions?
