The periodicity schedule is designed for the care of children who have no significant health problems and are growing and developing in satisfactory fashion. Children with special health and/or developmental needs may require more frequent visits for health supervision.
Children and adolescents with special psychosocial needs may also require additional visits for counseling or other treatment. This may include children whose families are undergoing significant stress or major transitions, or children being served by state child protective services.
