Most abnormalities that occur in infancy are detected by the child's parents or by the physician during routine well-baby examinations. Growth parameters should be measured and discussed with the parents. Vision, hearing and speech should be assessed on a regular basis. Emotional disturbances are missed less often if a social-behavioral assessment is included in the evaluation.
