The way children play, learn, speak, act, and move can offer important clues about their development. All children develop at their own pace. Developmental milestones are things most children can do by a certain age. Research indicates that early identification and intervention can change a child's developmental path and improve outcomes for children and their families. Parents are often told not to worry and that their child will develop at their own pace. While this is certainly true in some cases, it is not the case for all children.

These checklists include ideas on how to support development at home and when to consult with your doctor and/or speech pathologist.
