Early Childhood February 1996 Please retain this information for continual use. Sometimes delayed development is first detected in the doctors office.
Warning signs are just that . . .
They don't necessarily mean there are problems but they should be discussed with your pediatrician or family physician at your next visit. If your toddler is developing normally, your doctor will be able to reassure you. If you see some of these signs in your child, you may want to contact your school district, primary physician or the local, state or national LDA office for information. They can guide you on where to start in determining whether your child has a developmental delay. This includes early intervention for pre-school children who need special education services.
