Children's developmental screening tests in Anchorage, AK
As a part of a yearly physical exam, all children and teens should be screened for their development to assure they are growing and developing to their full potential. We have made the links to screening tools for children ages 0-5 available on our web site.
Click on the green box and it will take you to the Ages and Stages screening tool. This is free to all of our patients. If you can print out the results of the screening tool and bring it with you, this will be helpful.
There is also a tool call the M-Chat available to screen young children ages 16-30 months for autism. This is also free. If your child is between 16-30 months, please complete this prior to the visit or any time you have concerns.
Your health care provider will go over the results of the test at the time of your appointment and tell you what the score it means. The provider can also assist you with referrals for special therapies or other medical care if indicated.
You can also obtain a Milestone Moments Booklet at the appointment or on line and this will give you an idea of what milestones to expect for children ages 0-5.
