First parents try each activity on the questionnaire with their child checking the box that best describes what the child can do. Clear questions illustrations and tips help parents complete the questionnaires quickly and accurately. Professionals then record the scores easily converting parent responses to numbers (Yes 10 Sometimes 5 Not Yet 0). They copy the childs scores to a simple grid that gives an at-a-glance picture of current developmental skills: One or more scores in the grids dark shaded zone indicate the child may need further assessment. Scores in the light shaded “monitoring” zone help identify children at risk. Professionals can give parents activities to help their child make progress in these areas before the next screening. Scores outside the shaded zones mean the child is doing well in these areas.
