A developmental examination was carried out on 168 children at intervals over a 3-year period. The results suggest that developmental screening of this type is effective in picking out the "poor performers" who might well benefit from preschool education and extra health visitor supervision. On the other hand, the test given to children under the age of one year failed to pick out 2 children who were found to be moderately handicapped at the time of the 3-year examination. The study under-lined some of the problems of universal screening which require further research, and the need to assess the results of developmental screening clinic.
在3年的时间里,对168名儿童进行了定期的发育检查。结果表明,这种类型的发育筛查对于找出那些可能从学前教育和额外的健康访视监督中受益的“表现不佳者”是有效的。另一方面,对1岁以下儿童进行的测试未能找出2名在3岁检查时被发现有中度残疾的儿童。该研究强调了一些需要进一步研究的普遍筛查问题,以及评估发育筛查诊所结果的必要性。
