Developmental Checklist For Nineteen To Twenty-Four Months
How do I know when I should consider therapy for my child? Please review the Developmental Checklist For Nineteen To Twenty-Four Months of age.
After you review the list below, one or two concerns should not cause alarm. Because it is important to look at your child’s overall tendencies and clusters of behavior. If your child is not frequently and consistently demonstrating more than a few of the listed items in each age category, print a copy of the list, and check your concerns.
Where more than a few concerns are found in a child, we recommend you speak with your primary care physician [PCP] and have a discussion about whether to obtain a referral for an assessment by Speech Language Therapy or Occupational Therapy. Because the referral should be for a Speech language Therapist and / or Occupational Therapist professional, who is experienced with working in child development.
