Review of the CDC’s Developmental Surveillance Checklist (S6 Ep. 48)

Developmental surveillance and screening work best to identify delays when used together.  The AAP and CDC teamed up to create a standardized developmental milestone checklist in order to improve the longitudinal monitoring of pediatric milestones at home by caregivers.  This episode reviews their publication and discusses what went into the checklist, its strengths, and areas for further research.   View the CDC's website for the full checklist and read the article here.
