Abstract

This article provides practical tools for primary care providers to monitor child development and detect problems, Step 1 in developmental care. Novel one-page developmental attainments charts called Crucial skills can be used in developmental surveillance of children from newborn to 12 years, to review whether the child has attained skills expected for their age. Tables provide risk factors for developmental delay and where to refer when delays are found. Supportive information is offered for managing all components of surveillance, including when to do surveillance at well-child visits versus only if there are concerns, when to use standardized screening instruments versus history and observations with developmental attainments chart, recommended screens for various ages, parenting guidance, fostering family resiliency and medical investigations. A comprehensive School Age Developmental Attainments chart is presented to answer parents questions, see the age range for skills and review the level of evidence for references. Primary care providers reading this article will be equipped with tools for their essential role in Step 1 of developmental care: Surveillance.

发育照护的第一步：监测工具。

这篇文章为初级保健提供者提供了实用的工具来监测儿童发展和发现问题，这是发展护理的第一步。一种名为“关键技能”（critical skills）的单页发展成就图表，可用于从新生儿到12岁儿童的发展监测，以评估儿童是否获得了与其年龄相符的技能。表格提供了发育迟缓的风险因素，以及发现发育迟缓时的参考资料。为管理监测的所有组成部分提供了支持性信息，包括何时对健康儿童进行监测，而不是只有在有担忧时才进行监测，何时使用标准化筛查工具，而不是使用发育成就表的历史和观察，推荐不同年龄的筛查，育儿指导，培养家庭弹性和医学调查。一个全面的学龄期发展成就表被提出，以回答家长的问题，看到技能的年龄范围和审查证据水平的参考。阅读这篇文章的初级保健提供者将为他们在发育护理的第一步：监测中发挥重要作用配备工具。
