specific questionnaires screening communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving, and
personal adaptive skills; results in a pass/fail score for domains.
ages and stages questionnaires
Standardized tool for screening of communication and symbolic abilities up to the 24-month
level; the Infant Toddler Checklist is a 1-page, parent-completed screening tool
communication and symbolic behavior scales
This is a general developmental screening tool. Parent-interview form; screens for
developmental and behavioral problems needing further evaluation; single response form used
for all ages; may be useful as a surveillance tool.
parents evaluation of developmental status
