Hearing and Developmental Screening Practices: A 2006 Update

It will also discuss strategies to enhance developmental screening of young children and identify criteria and processes for recommending developmental screening instruments. The session will also discuss approaches to identify and evaluate strategies to increase communication between parents, health care providers, and child care providers.
