ABCD
Assuring Better Child Development is a national initiative
to promote the utilization of evidence-based developmental screening
in pediatric practices to screen and assess every child for developmental
delays or special health care needs. The Pediatric Foundation of
Michigan has received a grant from the Michigan Department of Community
Health to train and support pediatric practices to implement developmental
screening and make referrals to community and medical services
for children who have demonstrated or are at risk of delays. To
receive information about ABCD training in Michigan, please contact
Michele Strasz at
or call the MIAAP office at 517-484-3013.
Child Development Screening — Frequently Asked Questions
 Child Referral/Fax Back (CRFB) to Early On
Often physicians don’t know if a family was seen by Early On (www.1800Earlyon.org) and what services or support were recommended for the child. A group of stakeholders including the MIAAP were tasked to develop a form that would enhance the communication between physicians and Early On. The form that emerged from the group, called the Child Referral/Fax Back (CRFB) form, was designed to serve two purposes: referral to early intervention and feedback to the physician.
The CRFB is faxed to Early On along with the referral form and medical records. After completion of the evaluation by Early On on the child, this form will be faxed back to the referring physician. Please use this form when you are making a referral to Early On.
