Answer: (A)

FirstSTEP screening is a quick, practical tool that helps identify potential developmental delays in young children so they can receive a thorough evaluation and early intervention if needed. It was developed by Lucy Miller, a leading figure in pediatric developmental assessment, to provide clinicians with an efficient first step for screening across multiple developmental areas. Her work focused on early identification and practical screening methods, which is why FirstSTEP is widely used in pediatric practice. The other names listed are not associated with the development of this screening.
