​

When it comes to child development, knowing what’s typical—and what may be cause for concern—can make all the difference.

That’s why we’ve created our red flags checklists, covering a variety of developmental skills.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or therapist, these checklists are a helpful tool for spotting when extra support may be needed.

We hope they're helpful to you!
