Iowa Resources: Identifying Children and Families at Risk

Iowa developed an Iowa EPSDT health provider Web site reflecting the standards and definitions of the three levels of services and other information about using a standardized screening tool. The Medicaid director sent a letter introducing the Web site to all Medicaid providers.

This section contains resources for "Identifying Children and Families at Risk" developed by Iowa.


  • Recommendations to Implement the Iowa Medicaid Guidelines for Identification of Young Children with Developmental and Behavioral Problems
    Iowa ABCD Project. (2006). This document outlines recommended protocols and tools for levels 1-3 of developmental and behavioral surveillance developed under the ABCD project.
    1-Recommended Protocols and tools.doc

  • Iowa Child Health Maintenance Clinical notes (CHMN)
    Iowa Care for Kids EPSDT (2007) The resource can be used by providers to ensure that children who require developmental and Physical supports are identified early and referred to services. It provides an age-specific format for the clinical examination that emphasizes developmental milestones and provides anticipatory guidance.
