Area of Science:

  • Developmental Pediatrics
  • Early Childhood Education
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Public Law 99-457 mandates services for children aged 0-3 with developmental delays.
  • Pediatricians are crucial for early detection and referral of developmental delays.
  • A wide array of developmental screening tests exists, posing a challenge for clinicians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate and rate various developmental screening tests for use in pediatric practice.
  • To assist healthcare professionals in selecting appropriate screening instruments.
  • To identify tests meeting educational and psychologic standards within practical time constraints.

Main Methods:

  • A pediatrician administered 19 different developmental screening tests.
  • A panel of pediatricians and a special educator rated the administered tests.
  • Evaluation criteria included practicality for pediatric settings and psychometric properties.

Main Results:

  • Few screening tests met the time constraints of typical pediatric practice.
  • Several tests demonstrated strong psychometric and educational qualities.
  • Recommended tests included Battelle Developmental Inventory Screening Test, Infant Monitoring System, and others.

Conclusions:

  • Effective developmental screening is vital for early intervention services under Public Law 99-457.
  • While time constraints are a challenge, several robust screening tools are available.
  • Continued evaluation of screening instruments is necessary to support pediatricians in identifying developmental delays.
