What Tools and Techniques Are Used?

Several tools and techniques are employed in pediatric assessments:
- Growth Charts: These are used to track a child's growth over time and compare it with standard growth percentiles.
- Screening Tools: Instruments like the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) or the Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC) help screen for developmental and behavioral issues.
- Laboratory Tests: Blood tests, urine tests, and other laboratory investigations can be essential for diagnosing conditions that are not apparent through physical examination alone.
- Imaging: X-rays, ultrasounds, or MRIs may be required for a detailed look at internal structures.
