Parents can make sure their children have a better start in
life if they learn about and are aware of the signs of developmental delays and
disabilities. Although, all children grow and develop at different rates, it is
important to take action when certain skills or milestones of development do
not seem to be occurring. Identifying these developmental delays early on in
your child’s life and discussing them with your doctor or a specialist will
greatly increase your child’s chance of reaching his or her full potential.
When doctors and experts are made aware of a concern there are strategies that
can help! But they are most effective if started early in your child’s life.
