Screening tool for developmental delay

Authors: Bricker, D., Squires J.,  Age-Range: Birth 5.0 years

"Parents complete the simple, illustrated 30-item questionnaires at designated intervals, assessing children in their natural environments to ensure valid results. Each questionnaire can be completed in just 10-15 minutes and covers five key developmental areas: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal-social. Professionals convert parents' responses of yes, sometimes, and not yet — in just 2-3 minutes — to color-coded scoring sheets, enabling them to quickly determine a child's progress in each developmental area" (Quoted from Publisher) Takes about 10-15 minutes.
