Taking action to support a child’s development from birth to 5 alters the trajectory of a child’s academic career and life path.

Why This Matters

Children who receive needed services before age 5:

  • See their conditions fully treated or substantially mitigated
  • Are better prepared for Kindergarten
  • Achieve higher rates of educational attainment
  • Live in families that have greater support and reduced stress

IDEA in Washington, DC

  • The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is the

federal law that outlines the rights of children with special needs from birth through age 21.

  • In DC, two programs serve children under age 5:
  • Strong Start (0 to 3) run by Office of the State Superintendent
  • Early Stages (3 through 5) run by DC Public Schools

Making Referrals

Strong Start Early Stages Age Range: Birth to 2 years 8 months 2 years 8 months to 5 years 10 months Reason:

  • Developmental delay
  • Diagnosed condition or risk

factor associated with developmental delay

  • Parental concern
  • Same as Strong Start
  • Concerns over school

readiness and social- emotional issues Examples: Very low birth weight, genetic condition, prematurity, hearing

  • r vision impairments, birth

defects, delayed speech Most common: speech delay, developmental delay, and behavioral concerns, as well as physical and fine motor concerns.

Why does developmental surveillance miss children?

  • Inaccuracy of clinical judgment
  • Tends to identify most severe delays
  • Non-standardized administration
  • Partial vs. complete administration
  • Targeted vs. universal screening
  • Parental report when direct observation was intended

7% of all children <36 months

  • 70% of these children were found eligible for services

AAP Recommendations Key Points

The Screening Tool is Standardized Screening is Universal

  • All children screened, regardless of risk

Screening is Periodic

  • Completed at 9, 18 and 30* months

*If 30-month visit is not routine, 3rd screening at 24 months

AAP Recommendations Why?

The Screening Tool is Standardized

  • Eliminates inconsistent surveillance techniques

Screening is Universal

  • Eliminates problem of low sensitivity of surveillance

Screening is Periodic

  • Ensures children are not missed
  • Tracks developmental changes over time

AAP Recommendations:

Response to Failed Screening

If a screening reveals a concern, providers should

  • Refer to early intervention programs

(Strong Start/Early Stages: see Special Ed Cheat Sheet handout for details)

  • Refer to medical subspecialists

Ages & Stages Questionnaire

  • Well-validated
  • One-time cost

– Unlimited duplication

  • Milestone/skill-based

– Facilitates parent education

  • Options: parent administration or parent self-report

– Waiting room/exam room

Use of ASQ-3 in DC (FY 2011)

  • Widespread use:

– Used as intake tool by both Strong Start and Early Stages – DCPS screens all Head Start children (4,500) with ASQ-3

  • Strong correlation to eligibility in DC:

– Strong Start: 57% of ASQ-referred children were eligible. – Early Stages: 65% of ASQ-referred children were eligible.

Developmental Surveillance and Screening Policy Implementation Pilot

Established by the AAP to test the feasibility of implementing the 2006 AAP screening guidelines. A 9-month project involving 17 practices using ASQ 3 Results: 85% of presenting patients were screened.

Lessons from the AAP Pilot

Practices struggled most in three areas:

  • 1. Conducting screening at 30-month visit.
  • 1. Administering a screening after surveillance suggested a

concern.

  • 1. Referring children to both medical subspecialists and local

early intervention programs. (Only 61% of children with failed screenings were referred.)

Models for Implementation

Parent completes ASQ in waiting room. Nurse, medical assistant or volunteer administers ASQ. Parent completes ASQ

  • nline.

In all cases, screening is reviewed by physician during visit.

(Currently being done at some CNMC clinics)

Parent completes ASQ in exam room.

(Before appointment by phone or at visit.) (Before appointment, provider previews results)

Implementation Issues to Consider

  • Acceptable sensitivity/specificity: 70%-80%
  • Cost
  • Time required
  • Impact on clinic workflow/patient flow
  • Parental language/literacy issues
  • Other clinic missions (e.g. teaching)
  • Knowledge of resources to which to refer

Conclusion

1. Strong Start and Early Stages are working to dramatically increase the number of children under age 5 receiving early intervention services. 2. Routine and universal developmental screening is a crucial part of identifying children who will be eligible for services. 3. Medical practices have had success implementing the AAP guidelines for screening.

Next Steps

1. The DC Chapter of the AAP will be disbursing grants and technical assistance to practices interested in implementing the AAP screening guidelines. 1. Early Stages is available to provide training on administering the ASQ.
