developmental screenings

Child milestone evaluations

Developmental screenings are brief assessments used to identify children who may have delays in physical, cognitive, language, or social-emotional development.

Typically administered by pediatricians or educators during early childhood, these screenings flag potential issues early so intervention can begin: The pediatrician recommended developmental screenings at each well-child visit.

A screening is not a diagnosis but a first step toward one.
