2019, Journal of PediatricsCitation Excerpt :The AAP's recent Periodic Survey of Fellows shows that about 50% of clinicians use screening tests with proven accuracy and the remaining 50% rely on ad hoc surveillance, including selected items from the Denver Developmental Screening Test/Denver-II.40 Such informal methods lack standardized directions, validation and decision support, sensitivity/specificity, are known to underdetect children with probable MBDD, and contribute to limited referral rates for the IDEA.18-21,41,42 Clinicians who do not use quality measures cite many barriers, of which time constraints are the most common.43-45
Educational identification of students with serious emotional disability and/or autism spectrum disorder: how current practices perpetuate disproportionality
2019, International Review of Research in Developmental DisabilitiesCitation Excerpt :Medical providers play an important role in alerting parents to developmental and behavioral concerns that represent a significant departure from normative expectations. Thus, inequities in access to preventative pediatric care and well-child visits can delay the identification of children with developmental and emotional disabilities (Flores and the Committee on Pediatric Research, 2010; Palfrey, Singer, Walker, & Butler, 1987). Educators and interventionists who do not share a common culture or heritage with a family are less likely to interpret developmental differences in the child as a within-child phenomenon, and may inaccurately attribute slow acquisition of skills to a cultural or linguistic difference that will resolve with acculturation (Hibel & Jasper, 2012).
