The use of standardized screening instruments to perform developmental and social–emotional screening in young children may pose challenges to some practices because of limited knowledge of reliable screening instruments and limited time during office visits to screen patients. Parent report screening instruments eliminate these barriers by providing a quick and standardized way to screen patients.
The developmental and social–emotional screening instruments listed below are those most commonly used by health care providers. This list is a subset of all standardized developmental screening instruments recommended by the Minnesota Interagency Developmental Screening Task. For an overview of standardized screening instruments and a complete list of recommended observational, parent report, and social–emotional screening instruments recommended for use by the Task Force and approved for use by the Minnesota Department of Education for the Early Childhood Screening program*, see All Instruments at a Glance.
