Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about developmental milestones and assessments

Every child develops at their own pace, and there's a wide range of "normal." If your child is slightly behind in one area, it doesn't necessarily indicate a problem. We'll assess the overall pattern and provide guidance or referrals if needed.

We recommend developmental screening at 9, 18, and 24-30 months, with ongoing monitoring at regular checkups. Additional assessments may be needed if concerns arise or for children at higher risk for developmental delays.

Simple activities like reading together, playing peek-a-boo, singing songs, and providing safe exploration opportunities support development. We'll provide specific activities tailored to your child's age and developmental needs.

Contact us if you notice loss of previously acquired skills, significant delays in multiple areas, lack of social engagement, or if your parental instinct tells you something isn't right. Early intervention is most effective when started promptly.

If we identify concerns, we'll discuss options including further evaluation, early intervention services, or referrals to specialists. The goal is to provide your child with the support they need to reach their full potential as early as possible.
