The First 3 Years of Growth:
Recognizing Delays, Taking Action & Improving Outcomes
Date: Mon., Nov. 23
Time: 7:00 p.m. Central (8:00 p.m. Eastern, 6:00 p.m. Mountain, 5:00 p.m. Pacific)
This session will help parents and caregivers better understand developmental milestones during the first three years of life and recognize when a child may benefit from additional support. Families will learn how to identify potential developmental delays, document their concerns, and confidently start conversations with their child’s pediatrician or healthcare provider.
The discussion will explore early intervention services, including why early identification and support can improve developmental outcomes and how families can seek an evaluation when they have concerns. We will also discuss the importance of parent advocacy—especially when a caregiver feels that their concerns are being dismissed, or they are told to simply “wait and see.”
Participants will leave with practical strategies for observing development, communicating concerns, requesting appropriate screenings or referrals, navigating early intervention resources, and becoming an active member of their child’s care team. The goal is not to compare children or focus solely on deficits, but to recognize each child’s strengths, identify areas where support may be helpful, and connect families with resources as early as possible.
