NP/GP/Peds/clinic: There are several simple screening methods incorporated into the normal schedule of checkups for kids.These are often first done at 9-12 mo and then at 2 yr,or anytime the issue is a concern.The simplest can be done on a finger stick, while a more specific test is done from a blood draw.This is done by most general providers in many settings.It is not a specialty issue.Treatment would be.
