Message for Parents & Caregivers: This Developmental Screening Record booklet is intended to be a guide for you to follow and talk about your child s development with his or her provider. Bring this booklet to each Well Child Visit and ask your child s provider to fill in the information for your records. Screening and immunizations may vary depending on your child s special needs. Check this booklet for missing information and ask questions about anything you do not understand. Screening is a health service to check whether or not your child would benefit from testing. The purpose of screening is to assure that your child receives any services he or she may need early in life in order that your child will achieve optimal development. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends developmental screening for all children using a standardized tool (typically, a set of questions previously tested on many children) at 9-, 18-, and 30-month Well Child Visits (or at 24-months in place of 30-months). Your child s provider may talk with you about additional screening for your child based on specific concerns. Anytime you have concerns about your child s development or behavior, you should ask about additional screening or options for further testing. Results of your child s developmental screening will suggest next steps. Next steps may be to repeat screening at an older age or schedule a return visit to repeat screening sooner or to refer your child for testing. Plans for next steps for your child should be your decision based on what you learn through talking about your child s screening results with his or her provider. Sherri L.
