I think that is a great idea. The need for Age based Templates for the Developmental Exam and ROS is needed for all pediatricians. I made a few templates covering aspects of the DDST II exam that I incorporate in the ROS to cover questions answered on the parents PDQ. Lately Medicaid is asking for proof of a Developmental assesment tool, and the "PDQ" Parents Developmental Questionaire" is a good basic one, but not as complete as the proprietary Autism Screening tools or Ages and Stages, The PDQ is also much shorter and less time consuming than these later tools.
