Developmental screening is the process of evaluating your child\u2019s development of language, motor, and cognitive skills and abilities. Your pediatrician looks for certain developmental milestones at every well-child exam.<\/span><\/p>\n Your child should have several checkups in their first three years of life. The recommended schedule is:<\/span><\/p>\n From this point, your child should have an annual exam, including developmental screening. These appointments allow your pediatrician to keep an eye on your child\u2019s development and diagnose any issues as early as possible to ensure your child gets the help they need to thrive.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\u201dWhen should I talk to a doctor about my child\u2019s development?\u201d _builder_version=\u201d4.22.1\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d hover_enabled=\u201d0\u2033 global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d open=\u201doff\u201d sticky_enabled=\u201d0\u2033]<\/p>\n You know your child best as you watch them grow and learn every day. Bear in mind that children develop skills and abilities at their own speed. While there are general age ranges for skills like sitting up, walking, and talking, the ranges are based on averages, and many children develop before or after their peers.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re concerned about your child\u2019s development or think that a missing skill or ability is interfering with their well-being, make an appointment to talk to a doctor.<\/p>\n If your child does have a developmental delay, the earlier you get a diagnosis, the sooner you can start treatments.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\u201dWhat happens during a developmental screening?\u201d _builder_version=\u201d4.22.1\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d hover_enabled=\u201d0\u2033 global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d open=\u201doff\u201d sticky_enabled=\u201d0\u2033]<\/p>\n Your pediatrician performs standard developmental screening tests during your child\u2019s routine checkups. They ask you questions about your child\u2019s skills, abilities, and behaviors at home. They also test your child\u2019s motor skills, coordination, and reflexes.<\/p>\n As your child gets older, your pediatrician talks to them and asks them questions to assess their speech and language skills.<\/p>\n If you or your pediatrician have concerns about your child\u2019s development, they schedule a more comprehensive developmental screening.
