Developmental Milestones
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Learn the Signs. Act Early.
You can follow your child’s development by watching how they play, learn, speak, and act. Developmental milestones are things most children can do by a certain age. Not reaching these milestones, or reaching them much later than other children, could be a sign of a developmental delay. Your chid’s early development is a journey.

You Know Your Child Best
- Help your child learn and grow by using positive parenting techniques and tracking their developmental milestones.
- If you are concerned about your child’s development, talk to your child’s doctor and ask for a developmental screening. If you or the doctor is still concerned, ask the doctor for a referral to your local Children’s Integrated Services team.
- Contact your local Children’s Integrated Services team coordinator or dial 2-1-1 toll free from anywhere in Vermont for helpful resources and to speak with a Child Development Specialist at Help Me Grow.
