DSS Screening Tool Anganwadi Centre

A DSS with additional screening of mental health delays was developed among children in Anganwadi Centres between 0 to 6 years and children from 100 Anganwadi centres were screened. The DSS developed has not only been effective in identifying children with developmental delays but also acted as a sensitive indicator to identify probable developmental disorders that the child may be afflicted in future.
