Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of implementing the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP's) recommendation that clinicians provide developmental surveillance at all well child visits and institute developmental screening at critical developmental periods in childhood, namely at 9, 18, 24 and 30 months of age.

Conditions

  • Developmental Delays

Interventions

OTHER

Developmental screening using ASQ and MCHAT

In the SRS intervention arm subjects will complete developmental screening tools with a school readiness specialist at their 9, 18, 24 and 30 month well child visits and then complete their well child visit with their primary care clinician to discuss the results.

OTHER

Developmental screening using ASQ and MCHAT

Subjects who are randomized to PCP arm will be screened for developmental delays by their Primary Care Clinician at their 9, 18, 24 and 30 month well child visits. The corresponding screening tools may be mailed to the study participants 2 weeks before the scheduled well child visits. Those who do not complete the screening tools or those who did not receive them in the mail will then complete the questionnaire in the office prior to seeing their doctor or with their doctor. The PCP will then score the screening tool and interpret the test results. Developmental counseling and/or anticipatory guidance will be provided, as per usual care. EI referral will be completed, at the discretion of the provider with the approval of the caregiver , if the subject fails the developmental screen or the caregivers raise a specific concern about the child's development.
