WHAT IS THE DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENING CLINIC (DSC)?

The DSC is an outpatient service offered through the CYAS/Department of Pediatrics to provide medical/developmental services in the context of well-child care and to insure early identification of children who have or who are at risk of having developmental delays. 

WHO SHOULD BE REFERRED TO THE DSC?

Any infant or child who presents with any high risk factor such as prenatal substance exposure, prenatal infection, prematurity, developmental delays, growth retardation, physical anomalies, or any other concern that is raised by the family or the pediatrician.  Infants and children can be referred at any age starting in the newborn period.
