• Surveillance at every visit: parental concerns, developmental history, observation, risk/protective factors.
• Standardized screening at 9, 18, 30 months (general development) and 18, 24 months (autism).
• Positive screen → diagnostic evaluation, early intervention referral (IDEA Part C for 0-3y, school district for ≥3y).
• Medical home coordinates care for children with special healthcare needs.
