Developmental Screenings

Developmental screenings at a newborn and child clinic are essential assessments that help identify potential delays or concerns in a child's growth and development. These screenings typically occur at key developmental milestones—such as during routine check-ups at ages 9, 18, and 24 months—and may include a series of standardized questionnaires and observational assessments. Pediatricians evaluate various domains, including motor skills, language development, social interactions, and cognitive abilities. If any concerns are identified, the clinic can refer families to appropriate specialists or early intervention services for further evaluation and support. By conducting these screenings, the clinic aims to ensure that children receive the resources they need to thrive and to address any developmental challenges as early as possible.
