Evidence of the importance of early childhood development(ECD) has transformed child health monitoring and screeningtools. Development of the Korean Developmental ScreeningTest for Infants and Children (K-DST) has expanded theapplications of child health screening to a large number ofinfants and children in Korea and is contributing to the earlydetection of neurodevelopmental disorders and delivery oftimely interventions. The previous screening tool (KoreanAges and Stages Questionnaire) raised some concerns, as itslack of consideration of the cultural background of the Koreanpopulation can lead to inaccurate or imprecise diagnoses. TheK-DST, a tailored tool for Korean infants and children, is asimple and cost-efficient solution for child health monitoringand screening. This review focuses on the development androle of the K-DST in ensuring ECD. Here we review use of theK-DST for ECD screenings and discuss the best strategy for itsuse in other countries
