Child Developmental Milestones

When a young child experiences challenges in meeting developmental milestones, it is important that families have the knowledge and support to encourage his or her development, problem-solve issues around everyday routines and activities, and recognize and use their own strengths to reach their goals for their child and family. The professionals of the Los Pasitos Early Intervention Program offer this knowledge and support to families who have children with or at risk for developmental delays.
