Developmental screenings are essential evaluations that ensure your child is reaching key milestones in their growth and development. At Thrive Pediatrics, our dedicated team of pediatricians and healthcare professionals offers comprehensive developmental screenings to support the well-being of children in our community.
A developmental screening assesses various aspects of a child’s growth, including physical, cognitive, communication, social, and emotional development. These screenings help identify if a child is meeting typical developmental milestones or if there may be areas requiring further evaluation. Early detection of developmental delays allows for timely interventions, which can significantly improve outcomes for the child.
During the screening, parents will receive insights and guidance on:
Developmental Milestones: Understanding age-appropriate skills and behaviors.
Behavior and Social Skills: Assessing interactions with peers and adults.
Communication Abilities: Evaluating speech and language development.
Motor Skills: Observing both fine and gross motor development.
Recommendations: If any concerns are identified, guidance on next steps, including referrals for further evaluation or early intervention services.
Parents are encouraged to share observations and concerns about their child’s development during the appointment. This collaborative approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of the child’s needs.
Developmental screenings are typically conducted at regular intervals during well-child visits. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends screenings at the following ages:
9 months
18 months
24 or 30 months
However, if there are specific concerns about your child’s development at any age, it’s important to schedule an appointment promptly.
Monday-Friday 9am-5pm
Saturdays Twice A Month 9am-1pm
