A survey of children under 5 in an urban practice has been described and the means of detection of developmental abnormalities identified. It was found that 81% were queried by nonclinic means and only one child out of 150 had a minor abnormality which might otherwise have gone undetected if not seen at a screening clinic. These developmental screening clinics are expensive to run and yield very little return.
