RESUMO
This paper summarise the requirements and criteria for assessment of childhood disabilities. It reviews recent research carried out in Jamaica and outlines procedures for medical and psychological assessment used in the International Epidemiological Study of Childhood and Disability as well as local experience in community-based rehabilitation. While the medical assessment procedures were considered to be validated, there is an urgent need for local research and development in psychological assessment. These approaches, while not perfect as yet, bring the possibility of local community capability closer. They will require changes in professional attitudes, training of health and educational personnel, and changes in the service systems, so that screening and assessment can be integrated into existing services. However, although this will obviate the need for new, specialised administrations, improved linkages and lines of referral will be necessary.
