What Developmental & Behavioral Screening Means at Our Practice
Developmental and behavioral screening is a service Holly Springs Pediatrics offers to help track how a child is growing, learning, and behaving over time. It’s a routine part of pediatric care, built into well visits at set ages and stages.
These screenings use simple, structured questionnaires and observations. They look at areas like communication, motor skills, social interaction, and behavior, compared to typical patterns for a child’s age.
Holly Springs Pediatrics welcomes children, teens, and their families from Clayton, NC for this service. Clayton is home to 26,837 residents, and many families make the roughly 22.2 mile trip to our office for well visits that include developmental checks.
- Screenings are offered at scheduled well-child visits
- Tools are chosen based on a child’s age
