Developmental Screening in Community Health Care Centers and Pediatric Practices: An Evaluation of the Baby Steps Program
Abstract
The Baby Steps Program (Easter Seals of New Hampshire, 2003) is a child-find program that introduces developmental specialists into health care settings to conduct developmental screenings with children during well-child visits. This article presents the Baby Steps Program model, summaries of screening and referral data, and the results of 3 focus groups designed to assess the viability of introducing this model in pediatric practices and community health centers. A total of 3,343 children received developmental screenings over 43 months. Several themes emerged from the focus groups that provided insights into conducting developmental screenings with health care practice settings. The Baby Steps Program was effective at identifying children eligible for early intervention, referring children to alternative community resources, and improving the capacity of health care providers to screen and serve children experiencing developmental delays.

“For example, some states conduct systematic developmental monitoring of all children, regardless of a child’s risk of developmental delays or disabilities (e.g., Barfield et al., 2008), and other states only monitor children who are at high risk (e.g., Shannon & Anderson, 2008).”

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.
