The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that developmental screening should continue during in-person and virtual well child visits in the COVID-19 environment. As in the past, pediatricians are advised by the AAP to use a formal tool to screen for developmental risks at the 9, 18 and 24 (or 30) month well-child visits.
In Connecticut, child health providers can ensure that developmental screening is performed by linking families to the United Way 211 Child Development Infoline (CDI), where they can complete the Ages & Stages Questionnaires online and at no-cost.
