¿Qué son los cuestionarios de desarrollo?

A developmental screening is a questionnaire that caregivers complete that captures a snapshot of how a child is growing and learning. A developmental screening is important for ALL kids! 1 in 6 children have a developmental delay, but only a small percentage of those kids are detected through parent observations and regular checkups. Often, the signs are hard to see, even for a professional.
