Introduction to Development Part 2: Assessment and Referral course
This session will outline the developmental assessment of children up to the age of five.
Learning objectives
- By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Provide a first line child developmental assessment, using the personal child health record (‘red book’) as part of the community health partnerships programme
- Describe different types of standardised assessment tools
- List the pitfalls in interpreting information on development
- Identify who to ask and when to refer
This session will provide examples of developmental concerns, important findings that should prompt further analysis, highlight some of the difficulties encountered in the developmental workup, and look at onward referral.
