The assessment of the pediatric patient is a specialized area of chiropractic practice, requiring additional knowledge and skills. In recognition of this, European Academy of Chiropractors’ special interest group for Pediatrics have developed basic history and examination forms for the infant, pre-school, and school-aged child. The aim of these forms are to assist the chiropractor to identify red flags and to triage musculoskeletal and non-musculoskeletal complaints in these age groups. The process of development of the forms is outlined, and the three forms are presented in this article.
