With long waitlists and growing backlogs in early childhood screenings, The Communication Milestone Screening Protocol: Birth to Five (CMSP:B-5)™ offers a solution to help children get the timely support they need.
TEMECULA, Calif., Nov. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Communication Milestone Screening Protocol: Birth to Five (CMSP:B-5) is set to revolutionize early childhood screenings and report writing, providing a timely solution to the growing national backlog affecting children's access to essential services.
A Growing Concern
Recent data highlights a significant shortage of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) across the United States. In 2023, there were 60.8 ASHA-certified SLPs per 100,000 residents, with the West region having the lowest ratio at 47.3 per 100,000 residents. Notably, California had the lowest number of ASHA-certified audiologists per 100,000 residents at 2.0. Asha
This shortage has led to increased caseloads and extended waiting times for children requiring developmental screenings and interventions. Recent statistics indicate that as many as 1 in 4 children aged 0–5 are at moderate or high risk for developmental, behavioral, or social delays (National Survey of Children's Health, 2011–2012). Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that about 1 in 6 children aged 3–17 has a parent-reported diagnosis of developmental delay or disability, such as autism, intellectual disability, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), hearing or vision impairment, or other developmental delays (CDC, 2011). Early identification of these developmental delays is critical in providing children and families with the necessary services and support to prevent further issues.
