DETEKSI DINI PERKEMBANGAN ANAK USIA DINI DENGAN KUESIONER PRA SKRINING PERKEMBANGAN (KPSP)

Screening preschool children's growth and development can help detect deviations or delays early, allowing for timely intervention before the child experiences worsening conditions or permanent disorders. Developmental delays in children may include speech and language disorders, autism, and attention deficit disorder. Therefore, it is essential to conduct developmental screenings appropriate to the child's age. This community service program implemented developmental screening using the Developmental Pre-Screening Questionnaire (KPSP) instrument for early childhood at PAUD Anggrek, Surabaya. A total of 26 children participated in this screening activity. The screening results were categorized based on the KPSP assessment: 22 children (85%) were classified as age-appropriate, 3 children (11%) were classified as doubtful, and 1 child (4%) showed developmental deviations. During the evaluation process, each child received a report that was submitted to their PAUD teacher and parents. This report contained the results of the developmental evaluation along with recommendations for age-appropriate stimulation activities.Skrining tumbuh kembang anak prasekolah dapat mendeteksi penyimpangan atau keterlambatan perkembangan anak sehingga dapat dicegah, sebelum anak jatuh dalam kondisi yang lebih buruk bahkan gangguan yang permanen.
