assessment templates for children who have

suffered environmental exposures and (2) a

module on assessing growth and

children.

Matters To Be Considered: Participants will

discuss their suggestions for pediatricians

with situations in which children of various

other specialties; how referrals should be

arranged and what initial tests should be

done. Guidance will be developed that (1) is

age-specific; (2) is reasonable, quick, and

easy-to-use; and (3) includes suggestions for
