Healthy Child Development: Improving the Odds with a Focus on the 18 month
Well Child Visit, Nutrition and Preventive Health Interventions to improve
Outcomes
The quality of early childhood experiences has an important influence on brain development and subsequent learning, behaviour and health. The purpose of this program is to highlight developments in early neurodevelopment and to explore how these developments can be incorporated into primary care. This workshop will provide an overview of the field of Preventative Pediatric Health Care (0 - 6 years) through the well baby/child visit, using various evidence based tools. In particular, the Rourke
Baby Record, the M-CHAT, and the Nipissing District Developmental Screen will be utilized. The workshop will identify the key strategies involved in the 18 month well child visit and office strategies to improve health outcomes. Nutrition in the infant and toddler will be reviewed as well as preventative
Health strategies to improve readiness to learn. Early identification of preconception and prenatal psychosocial issues, a Preconception checklist and the Antenatal Record will be reviewed. The Healthy
Child Development Improving the Odds Manual and Facing the Challenges will be used as a resource.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this program, the participant will be able:
1.
to recognize how family practice teams can optimize proactive health and developmental surveillance
2.
to review evidence regarding clinical strategies that can be included in antenatal and well child visits and specifically what strategies are required for the 18 month well child visit
3.

4.
