What are developmental milestones, and why are they useful

Developmental Milestones are markers that are set forth by early childhood experts as a tool to measure a child’s growth in four primary areas of development

Speech/Language

Cognitive/Intellectual

Social/Emotional

Fine/Gross Motor development

The importance of Developmental Milestones is two-fold.  It validates and reassures parents that they are providing the skills, information and ideas needed to raise a happy, healthy, well adjusted child.  It also helps provide a child and their family with some extra support, through early childhood intervention, when needed, so a child can meet their full potential.
