Tracking Developmental Milestones

A child’s development is visible in how they play, learn, speak, and act. These “milestones” are key indicators of progress, and tracking them early is essential for identifying any potential developmental concerns.

Milestone Monitoring: Parents are encouraged to use the CDC’s “Milestone Tracker” app to follow growth from 2 months to 5 years.
Regular Screenings: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends formal developmental screenings at 9, 18, and 30 months, with specific autism screenings at 18 and 24 months.
