Office visits miss 70 percent of kids with developmental and behavioral problems.
Are your milestones working? Is your referral rate close to 1 out of 10?
If not, you are missing children who need intervention!
Wouldn't you like to be sure you were doing better?
Here are two optimal solutions:
|
Parents' Evaluation of Developmental Status (PEDS) is a fast and inexpensive method for detecting developmental and behavioral-emotional problems in children from birth to age eight.
PEDS helps providers elicit and address parents' concerns using questions known to work. [FAQ?]

|
PEDS:Developmental Milestones (PEDS:DM), also for children 0 - 8 years provides 6 - 8 milestones-type items per well-visit. Each item taps a different domain:
fine motor, gross motor, self-help, expressive language, receptive language, social-emotional, and for older children reading and math.

PEDS and PEDS:DM Information Brochure
Should we use both? Q: Which kit should I order? Q: What do YOU recommend?
It isn't necessary but it is best if you do. Together PEDS and the PEDS:DM ensure that each encounter meets recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics for longitudinal surveillance and screening. PEDS and the PEDS:DM are a total of 16 - 18 items per visit, and each version takes about 5 minutes to complete. Together they give you two kinds of information that help: address parents' concerns, confidently measure children's developmental-behavioral/emotional status, reduce 'door knob' concerns, promote parents' readiness to learn about better methods of child-rearing, limit inappropriate parenting practices, and help you optimally monitor child and family progress over time.

Peer Reviews of PEDS
"I am amazed at the unexpected benefits, which we are logging and will report. The amount of discussion about child development, the realization that we are not aware of parent perspective, the excitement of the staff and administrators to raise the quality of our care is thrilling. And this is in the first 4 days!!!!"
