“…The NCES tool showed good concurrent validity and reliability in the form of highly significant correlations. Sensitivity levels ranged from .44 -.82 whilst specificity levels ranged from .94 -1.0 depending on the developmental domain (Bellman, Rawson, Wadsworth et al, 1985).…”

The accurate early identification of developmental delay in young children is important. The aim of this study was to highlight and propose a solution to problems associated with scoring a UK developmental screening tool known as the Schedule of Growing Skills II. Potential problems associated with the sensitivity of this screening tool were identified. As a possible solution to this problem, an alternative scoring method was developed to yield a developmental quotient. A pilot investigation of the new scoring method was conducted through comparisons with the Griffiths Mental Development Scales. Forty-three children aged 0-5 years were recruited and administered both developmental assessments. Results from both assessments were compared to examine validity. Both the new and published scoring methods showed good concurrent validity, however the new scoring method demonstrated better criterion-related validity in terms of higher sensitivity, comparable specificity, generally higher over-referrals, and lower under-referrals. The Schedule of Growing Skills II could be a valid, cost-effective way of screening for developmental delay in young children using this new, more sensitive scoring method.

The paper describes the initial stages in the development of a screening instrument designed to identify children with impaired language development at the age of 2 1/2 years. The pilot study comprised 40 children seen for routine developmental surveillance at one of the Community Health Centres in City and Hackney District Health Authority. The screen was found to be both sufficiently sensitive and sufficiently specific to warrant further investigation. The discussion highlights a number of pertinent issues which have arisen from the study and which the authors consider to be of relevance to others considering the development of equivalent procedures.
