Our toddler screening work showed that routine screening for children born preterm shows good sensitivity and specificity, and we do not recommend delaying screening for children born preterm. In another study, we demonstrated that pediatric practices randomized to high quality, routine screening identified more toddlers with high likelihood of autism, and at younger ages, compared to practices whose usual care did not include standardized screening for all toddlers.
