Various methods are utilized for early diagnosis in pediatrics:
- Routine Screenings: Regular check-ups and screenings can identify potential health issues before symptoms become apparent. Common screenings include newborn screenings, vision and hearing tests, and developmental screenings.
- Genetic Testing: This can help identify children at risk for inherited disorders, allowing for early intervention and management.
- Immunizations: Vaccinations not only prevent diseases but also provide a valuable opportunity to monitor a child's health and development during regular visits.
