U-study of children rescheduled

The Federal Joint Committee has newly regulated the screening tests for children up to the age of 6 (U1-U9). The changes became necessary because the framework conditions have changed significantly.

A key element of screening is the focus on the child's interaction with the primary caregiver. Disruptions in the parent-child interaction can lead to developmental disabilities with emotional under- or overworking of the child, but also to lack of protection, lack of care to manifest or threatened neglect and / or maltreatment by the parents.

New is a removable from the documentation (yellow booklet) map. This allows parents in the day care center, school or even at the youth welfare office to prove that their child has participated in the screening tests. In order to do so, you no longer have to pass on any confidential information about the level of development of the child and medical findings. (Pm)
