Herramientas de screening del desarrollo psicomotor en Latinoamérica

Abstract

Primary Care physicians play an important role in detecting psychomotor development problems. There are a number of useful tools available for this purpose. This paper provides a review of the literature of some methods utilized in Latin America, with special emphasis on screening tools. A follow up protocol for patients with developmental delay is suggested in order to simplify the diagnostic process. Finally, a few hurdles in implementation of developmental control are pointed out.
