Earls and Sherry Shackelford Hay. Pediatrics Vol. 118 No. 1 July 2006, pp. e183-e188.
This report examines how early identification of children with developmental and behavioral delays is important in primary care practice, and how well-child visits provide an ideal opportunity to engage parents and perform periodic screening. Integration of this activity into office process and flow is necessary for making screening a routine and consistent part of primary care practice.
