DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENING
1 in 6 children experience developmental delays. Screenings are available at no cost and give a quick look at your child’s growth across key areas, including communication, physical development, social and emotional skills, and problem-solving skills. Completing screenings for children ages 2 months to 5 years can help you understand your child’s strengths and identify areas where they may need extra support.
FOLLOW YOUR CHILD’S DEVELOPMENT BY AGE
Not all developmental concerns are easy to notice. Some conditions, such as autism, speech and language delays, and social or emotional challenges, may not be identified until a child starts school. Supporting social-emotional development early is an important part of healthy growth, and early identification can help connect children with the support they need.
