Abstract

I described a novel system of health examination of five-year-olds in Tottori prefecture. This health examination was aimed at effective detection of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorders (AD/HD), learning disorders (LD), higher functioning pervasive disorders (HFPDD) and so on. It is difficult for these developmental disorders to be detected adequately at three years old because hyperactivity, short attention span, lower social interaction and cognitive deficits are not able to be confirmed as specific symptoms in three-year-olds. As a result of our health examination of five-year-olds, there are many children with these developmental disorders who were overlooked at the health examination at three years old.<BR>Health examination for babies/infants and consultation with their guardians should be performed as one package to detect children with AD/HD, LD, HFPDD effectively, and this package must have an important relation to school enrollment.
