What is Developmental Screening?

When you’re concerned about certain delays in your child, a developmental screening comes first. It takes a closer look at how your little one is developing through tests, formal questionnaires, and checklists that are based on research.🔎

The questions are designed to look into the child’s development, language, movement, thinking, behaviour, and emotions. It’s usually conducted by a doctor, a nurse, and other qualified professionals in the healthcare, community, or school settings.

A good assessment not only provides a better understanding of your child’s strengths and needs, but also answers the key question – what’s next? That means, it should point to suitable interventions.👌

If you think you’re child is displaying symptoms which suggest that he/she may fall under the spectrum, it’s important that screening is done as soon as possible. The sooner that help is given, the better they can overcome the challenges present in autism. Read all about diagnostic screening in our blog >> https://www.autismstep.com/autism-consultation/.
