Well Child Developmental Assessment Paper Guidelines
Students will conduct a developmental assessment met in a home setting to identify factors influencing a child’s development.
WELL CHILD DEVELOPMENTAL ASSESSMENT PAPER
Each student will conduct a pediatric developmental assessment in order to facilitate his/her learning of the multiple, predictable aspects of a child’s growth and development.The student will also assess the child’s home environment to identify some of the factors influencing the child’s development.Following the visit, a written paper will be due which will include physiologic and psychosocial assessment data, goals for the child and family, interventions, and recommendations.
I.PROCEDURE FOR THE VISIT
Identify a well child (1 month – 10 years of age) either in a home or school environment.The child should not be a member of the student’s immediate family.
For home visits, you will be conducting a developmental and a home assessment for a child birth to 10 years of age.For school students, you may conduct a systematic assessment of their developmental status and identify environmental factors located in the school which are aimed at stimulating their development.
Some suggested parameters to include:
a)birth date, age, and gender
b)growth parameters – use growth charts based on the
- For children < 2 years, use the Birth to 36 months 3rd-97th percentile forms and plot the following on the chart: length for age
- weight for age
- For children > 2 years, use the 2-20 years 3rd-97th percentile forms and plot the following on the chart:
- stature for age
- BMI for age
head circumference for age
weight for length
weight for age
c)nutritional status
d)development – remember the different aspects of development
e)family
- Who lives in the home and what are their roles with the child?
- What influences do they have on the child’s development?
- Is the child cared for outside of the home and what impact does that have on the child and his/her family?
f)home environment or school assessment–
- include safety issues that may not be covered by this tool, i.e.: guns in home, helmets w/ bikes, harmful chemicals within reach, etc.
