Infant Neurodevelopmental Evaluations
Infant neurodevelopmental evaluations assess whether or not your child is meeting developmental milestones for their age. Results provide families with recommendations to support development of age-appropriate abilities.
What to Expect During an Infant Neurodevelopmental Evaluation
An infant neurodevelopmental evaluation assesses whether or not your child is attaining developmental milestones in an age-appropriate way.
While some parents prefer to “wait and see” if their child catches up to peers, it is best to seek out an evaluation if you have concerns. Early intervention is key—the earlier the intervention, the more success we observe.
Infant neurodevelopment evaluations can answer questions such as:
- Is my child developing typically and on track with meeting their developmental milestones?
- I’ve noticed other children are able to do things my child cannot. Should I be worried?
- How will my child’s medical condition impact them as they get older, and what can I do to set them up for success now?
