Developmental Milestones

This comprehensive guide explains Developmental Milestones for children from birth through adolescence, helping parents understand the key skills and behaviors children typically develop at different ages. You’ll learn what developmental milestones are, why they matter, and how they are grouped into categories like physical, cognitive, social-emotional, language, and self-help skills. The resource outlines age-specific expectations, signs of potential developmental delays, and when to seek additional support or evaluation. It includes practical tips for encouraging growth at home, examples of milestone checklists, and reflection questions to help parents track and celebrate their child’s progress. This Kansas-focused guide emphasizes that every child develops at their own pace and that early identification and support can make a meaningful difference. Perfect for parents preparing for pediatric visits, early childhood screenings, or IEP/504 planning, and wanting to be proactive advocates in their child’s development journey.

Brett is one of the most thoughtful practitioners I have worked with in my career. He is extremely thorough in his psychological evaluations. In therapy, he is as empathetic as he is competent in working with people who are facing great challenges.
