developmental screenings

Developmental screenings are brief assessments used by healthcare providers to check if a child is developing skills appropriate for their age, such as talking, walking, and social interaction. These screenings help identify early signs of developmental delays or concerns, allowing for timely support or intervention if needed. They are usually quick, simple activities or questions that give a snapshot of a child's progress. Regular screening during well-child visits ensures that children are on track and helps catch any issues early when they can often be most effectively addressed.
