Screening procedures seek to identify children who show signs of possible<unk> . In the preschool years, a family history of<unk> , particularly in biological parents and siblings, predicts an eventual<unk>  diagnosis better than any test. In primary school (ages 5–7), the ideal screening procedure consist of training primary school teachers to carefully observe and record their pupils' progress through the phonics curriculum, and thereby identify children progressing slowly. When teachers identify such students they can supplement their observations with screening tests such as the Phonics screening check used by United Kingdom schools during Year one. In the medical setting, child and adolescent psychiatrist M. S. Thambirajah emphasizes that "given the high prevalence of developmental disorders in school-aged children, all children seen in clinics should be systematically screened for developmental disorders irrespective of the presenting problem/s." Thambirajah recommends screening for developmental disorders, including<unk> , by conducting a brief developmental history, a preliminary psychosocial developmental examination, and obtaining a school report regarding academic and social functioning.
