screening tests for young children

checklists or assessment protocols that have been developed to detect risk factors associated with certain conditions during infancy and early childhood through the primary school years. Such tests do not provide diagnostic information but instead are used with large numbers of children to identify those who may require further assessment for emotional disturbances, intellectual disabilities, neurological conditions, or other disorders.
