Perceptions on Screening for Developmental Disabilities and Autism in Childcare Settings
Abstract
This qualitative study explored the knowledge and perceptions about early screening for developmental disabilities and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in childcare settings using semistructured interviews with directors, teachers, and parents at 12 childcare centers. Results indicated that most of the directors and teachers, who were interviewed, were cautiously open to implementing screening programs but wanted additional training in recognizing early signs of ASD and other developmental disabilities, as well as communicating with families about concerns. All interviewed parents reported wanting childcare professionals to communicate with them if they had developmental concerns for their child, and all but one parent was open to the idea of universal screening at their child's center.

“Uzonyi et al. (2022) conducted interviews at childcare centers to understand perceptions on screening in childcare settings and found that most directors and teachers were “cautiously open” to autism screening but wanted more training, and most were open to universal autism screening at their child’s center.”

“Despite pediatricians reporting an increase in both developmental and ASD-specific screenings (Arunyanart et al., 2012; Hyman et al., 2020), the former findings suggest that some pediatric providers do not always follow AAP recommendations in both screening practices.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
