Developmental Red Flags
to Emotional, Cognitive and Behavior Skills

As your baby grows, it's only natural to wonder if everything
is okay. How can you tell what your baby should be able to do
and when?
How can you tell if your child is on target to develop her
emotional, cognitive, and behavior skills? Look for the red flag
in each age group. If you notice these behaviors with your
child, discuss your concerns with your doctor.

Thankfully, there are many ways to deal with delays in child
development and behaviors.

to a clinic), inpatient (following injury or surgery) and school
based services. Which type of therapy should you choose?
