Growth Chart

It's time to change how we view a child's growth.
Do you know all the ways you should measure your child's growth? We naturally think of height and weight, but from birth to 5 years, your child should reach milestones in how he plays, learns, speaks and acts. A delay in any of these areas could be a sign of a developmental problem, even autism. The good news is, the earlier it's recognized the more you can do to help your child reach her full potential. 

This chart will help you look for important developmental milestones. [PDF, 242KB]
