Screen for Learning Activities
From the beginning of the life |
| |
Over past four years I tried to find several minutes for each patient visit for routine screen and early intervention to promote participation in educational activities, and to build up healthy life style. Since I am extremely impressed by the improved intervention outcomes when the patients, parents and primary pediatrician work together, I plan to indtroduce this service, and the experience I gained from the thoundsand families, to other physicians, parents, and everyone who concern about kids in the world.
