Developmental Screening

The tools used for developmental and behavioral screening are formal questionnaires or checklists based on research that ask questions about a child's development, including language, movement, thinking, behavior, and emotions.

What is the aim of the development screening test?

Developmental status can be measured through two types of play-based tests: screening tests and evaluation tests. A developmental screening test is a quick and broad assessment of skills; its purpose is to identify a subpopulation of children who are in need of further, more in-depth evaluation.
