How Do Pediatricians Approach Developmental Milestones?
Developmental milestones are specific functional abilities or skills that most children can do by a certain age. Pediatricians closely monitor these milestones during well-child visits to ensure that a child is developing appropriately. If delays or abnormalities are detected, early intervention is crucial. This might include referrals to specialists, such as speech therapists or occupational therapists, to provide targeted support.
