Addressing Delays
What happens if a concern about your child’s development is noted?
There are lots of great supports available.
As a parent, it’s natural to worry about your child’s development, but nearly 1 in 6 children experience delays regardless of what you do or don’t do. And even if delays are found, there are many opportunities to support your child’s development.. Don’t hesitate to speak with your child’s healthcare provider, like their doctor or nurse practitioner, if you have questions or need guidance on what steps to take.
