Colorado participated in the ABCD Screening Academy as a “Setting the Stage for Success” grantee, a project designed to replicate the North Carolina ABCD Project model which integrated structured developmental screening into well-child care visits.
Specifically, the ABCD Screening Academy project in Colorado improved child development services by:
- Incorporating screening requirements into Colorado's Medical Home initiative, and by targeting "improving state policy" as a critical area of attention in the 2009 ABCD team work plan.
- Completing multiple ABCD community trainings on structured screening in all eight pilot communities, increasing the use of a objective, validated developmental screening tools at well child visits by providers outside of pilot sites, and partnering with Kaiser Permanente and Denver Health to ensure that all of their offices implemented the use of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) by all pediatricians and family practitioners.
- Sustaining and spreading structured screeninig by applying for funding to continue to gather groups of providers for informational workshops and trainings on the importance of health care screening during well child care.
