Objectives: The first three years of life is the most progressive and most complex period of
development. In this period there is opportunity to observe important developmental progress and
re-regulation processes. Multidimensional processes during infancy that lead to the development
of mental disorders also affect subsequent developmental stages. Infancy (0-12 months) and early
childhood (12-48 months) have been described as \"critical period\" in almost every psychiatric
theory. “The Center for Early Childhood Psychosocial Development” in Erzurum is a center for
evaluating the developmental retardation of children aged 18 months to 6 years, autism spectrum
disorder, psychiatric disorders, childhood sleep problems, relationship problems, psychosocial and
environmental risk factors. If the risk is determined in the child, he/she is directed to
Atatürk University Medical Faculty Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department for diagnosis
and intervention.
Methods: The aim of this study was to evaluate the development of children who applied to
“Early Childhood Psychosocial Development Centre” in Erzurum. Our purpose is to determine
whether they are at high risk in terms of autism spectrum disorder, the most common psychiatric
disorders in childhood, to control psychological, social and environmental stressors that may
affect the healthy development of the child and to monitor and evaluate parent-child
communication.
Result: In this context we reached 1200 children who were between 1-5 years old. 110 children
were found to be screen positive. The distribution of diagnosis are presented in the poster.
Conclusion: The distribution of diagnosis obtained from population-based sample will contribute
to the literature in the field of early childhood psychiatric screening.
