Developmental Examination of Infants and Preschool Children

This book is a practical guide for primary-care doctors and health visitors involved in the detection of developmental problems in children who may not be developing at the same pace as their peers. It provides valuable assistance to pediatricians and pediatric neurologists in diagnosing any underlying developmental issues in children with chronic neurological disorders. The tests outlined in this book are based on standardized methods and cover key areas of developmental examination such as medical history, hearing, vision, motor skills, and language/performance. By graphically presenting this information, the book helps identify the lowest twenty percent of children who may need further investigation or treatment and enables general practitioners to play a more proactive role in preventive care.
