As participants in the Assuring Better Child Health and Development (ABCD) Screening Academy—a Fund-supported initiative administered by the National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP)—21 states and territories have worked to improve developmental screening in well-child care and make state-level policy to support these improvements. A new series of issue briefs, posted on the NASHP Web Site, report on their activity.
State Policy Improvements That Support Effective Identification of Children at Risk for Developmental Delay describes how states have pursued policies to expand benefits and eligibility, increase reimbursement, and improve the delivery of developmental services for children.
State Strategies to Support Practice Changes That Improve the Identification of Children at Risk for or with Developmental Delays explains how state agencies, in partnership with the private sector, have implemented developmental screening in child health care practices and promoted the statewide spread of those activities by providing training and resources to pediatric primary care providers and office personnel.
