During a developmental screening, the nurse notes the toddler is not meeting expected developmental milestones. Discuss the delay in milestones with the primary care provider and family is the best action by the nurse.
Developmental screening is a process involving partnerships with parents to identify concerns about a child's development. As many as one in four children under the age of 6 are at risk for a developmental delay or disability.
Screening alone is not enough to identify a Developmental screening. Rather, it helps staff and parents decide whether to refer a child for more evaluation by a qualified professional. The earlier a possible delay is identified, the earlier a program can refer a child for further evaluation and additional supports and services.
What programs and families should do next is determined by the screening's outcomes. Using the children and families they serve, screening instruments, suggestions from the Health Services Advisory Committee, and other considerations, programs design their developmental screening policies and procedures.
