To the Editor.—

In a recent article entitled "A Comparative Review of Developmental Screening Tests"1 Glascoe et al focused on an urgent problem: practitioners' need for guidance in defining approaches and selecting instruments for the developmental screening of infants and young children in accordance with Public Law 99-457.2 This is one of the first attempts in the pediatric literature to review and recommend developmental screening devices. However, significant problems with the methods of test selection and evaluation limit one's ability to draw useful conclusions from this study.
