Important Things to Remember:
Screening tools can seem overwhelming. It’s important to remember that it’s ok if your child isn’t able to do everything on these tests. Every child is going to develop at different times, these tests just allow you and your doctors to catch any noticeable delays early, allowing intervention to try to prevent any lasting effects. Trust your gut! If you notice something out of the ordinary, don’t be afraid to talk to your physician about it. They may be able to provide you with some of the screening methods to test and allow your child to receive the care they need.
