It describes available developmental screening tests, as well as laboratory tests that can be used for diagnostic assessment once a developmental delay has been identified. This program also reviews key developmental milestones for children from birth through 5 years of age, signs of central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction, and red flags for delays in language development.
