National DEC Alliance - Developmental Evaluation Suggested Guidelines

Author: Dr. Kiti Freier, Ph.D. Pediatric Psychologist, Loma Linda University, Riverside CA & Dr. Glen Aylward, Ph.D. Reprinted with permission from Dr. Kiti Freier.

The following represents a guideline for evaluation of the developmental status of children having resided in a clandestine lab environment. In order to: 1) obtain more useful information necessary for appropriate intervention related to the child’s long-term development, and 2) to provide uniformity of follow-up with the medical interventions, the following protocol is proposed. Evaluations are discussed in terms of immediate follow-up (within the first 72 hours), one month (post-identification) follow-up, six month follow-up and one year follow-up. The guidelines contain the recommended evaluation for the desired ‘standard of care;’ however, other assessments and screening tools are provided as alternate choices that can be utilized when necessary (i.e., examiner not trained in suggested protocol measures, measure is not available etc).... read or download entire paper.
