We have another new friend today
Ripley is 16 months and will be here 3 days a week. Although he is not too sure about all of the crazy kids this morning he was happy to play outside and watch them intently.
Screening young children is an effective, efficient way for caregivers to catch problems and start treatment when it does the most good ~ during the crucial early years when the child’s brain and body are developing so rapidly.
Because developmental and social-emotional delays can be subtle and can occur in children who appear to be developing typically, most children who would benefit from early intervention are not identified until after they start school. Even pediatricians, the child health specialists, fail to detect delays more than 70% of the time.
