    Could Your Child Need Early

    Intervention Services?
    Trust Your Instincts.
    Throughout the process of deciding whether you would like to utilize early intervention
    services to support your child and family, it is important to never lose sight of the fact
    that you know your child best. If you feel as though something could be a cause of
    concern or that something needs to be looked into further, do not hesitate to utilize the
    services available to you, at no cost. Numerous studies have shown that early
    intervention can improve a child and family’s quality of life, increase later academic
    success, reduce the impacts of a developmental delay, and even eliminate future
    problems (preventing or reducing the impact of a disability).

    What does “typical” development look like, anyway?


    While development does not follow a set timeline, there are milestones that a child
    should reach depending on their age. For example, a child is typically able to babble by
    three to months, roll onto their back and front by seven months, walk independently
    around twelve months, and use simple gestures to communicate around the age of
    fifteen months.

    Every child is different.


    The milestones and ages given above can vary wildly from child to child. In the United
    States, the milestone of walking by twelve months is the average age that a child learns
    to walk. The range of ages considered normal for walking is walking anywhere between
    nine and eighteen months. This wide range of ages demonstrates the variability that is
    seen in regards to many different skills. There is no “normal” when it comes to a child’s
    development. Every child is different.
    What May Be A Cause For Concern?
    ● Missing several developmental milestones
    ● Not sitting, talking, crawling, walking, etc at, or close to, the same age as peers
    ● Repetitive behavior
    ● Extreme or more frequent tantrums
    ● Strong reactions to certain sensory input (smells, lights, colors, sounds, tastes, textures)
    ● Extreme separation anxiety
    ● Poor, or no, eye contact
    ● Lack of imaginative play
    ● Lack of interest in peers
    ● Extremely rigid (tense) or floppy muscles
    ● Poor fine motor control (compared to peers)
    ● Not responding to name
    ● Not visually tracking objects

    While it is true that every child develops differently if you find that your child is missing
    several milestones or showing other concerning behaviors (listed above) it is important to
    follow up with your child’s pediatrician. They can determine whether your child is on target
    developmentally or if further evaluation is needed. Oftentimes, it is the determination that
    further evaluation is needed that leads to a referral to early intervention services.
