Developmental monitoring in primary care

C E Goldfarb et al. Can Fam Physician. 1996 Aug.

Abstract

Monitoring child development is an essential part of primary health care. Successful surveillance depends on physicians' thorough knowledge of normal progress along the four developmental streams: motor, language, cognitive, and social and emotional. Being alert to "red flags" that suggest problems is important. Effective interventions can minimize developmental problems.
