This text is a practical guide for primary-care doctors and health
visitors involved in the detection of developmental problems in
children whose parents are worried that their child is not
developing like other children. It will be of assistance to
paediatricians and paediatric neurologists in providing a
developmental perspective in the diagnostic process in their work
with children with chronic neurological disorders. The tests
described have been standardized by the author and cover the
essentials of developmental examination: history - including
parents' views of their child's development; clinical tests of
hearing; examination of visual behavior and visual acuity;
observation of developing motor skills; language/performance
profiles in which any substantial unevenness or an overall low
score may reveal a developmental problem. In practice the range of
average ability is wide, so a distinctive feature of this book is a
standardized data base in graphical form that can be used to
identify readily those children (lowest 20%) who warrant further
specialist investigation or treatment.
