  • Has your child ever been screened for developmental delays?
  • The developmental screener does not provide a diagnosis or identify children as having a developmental issue, but helps parents or caregivers determine if further evaluation by a doctor or other professional may be necessary. The results of the screener will be shared with you after you complete it. There is no cost to take the screener.

     

    ** MCHAT Screener should be used for children ages 16-30 months

    ** ASQ Screener should be used for children ages 1 month to 60 months. Use a screener that closely matches the child’s current age.
