Abstract

The purpose of the quality improvement project was to increase early recognition of neurodevelopmental disorders that impact literacy. The project's expected outcome was successful clinician utilization and adoption of a validated screening tool into the current standard of care and practice environment. Implications of successful implementation of the project included earlier recognition, family adaptation, and follow-up care of children at risk for delayed reading literacy.
