Concerns About a Child’s Development

Parents are usually the first to feel or sense their child is not thriving. Finding help early can get your little one the care and assistance they need.  This is a good place to start when an adult is concerned about a child’s development and wants to learn more about testing or developmental evaluation.

These programs also offer services and a variety of support to families when there’s a developmental concern, and when delays or disabilities have already been identified.
