    AbstractThis paper reviews and summarises the requirements and criteria for the screening of childhood disabilities. It reviews recent advances in research carried out in Jamaica and outlines available techniques for the screening of cognitive, motor, speech, hearing and visual disabilities and fits. The availability of validated, simple, low-cost techniques that can be used by community workers facilitates the conduct of surveys for the planning of programmes and the identification of cases for rehabilitation.
