Developmental Support for Families in Monterey County
Every child grows and develops differently, but persistent concerns about milestones deserve attention and understanding.
Our developmental assessments can help families seeking answers about:
- Delayed speech or language development
- Delays in crawling, walking, or motor coordination
- Limited eye contact or social interaction
- Sensory sensitivities to sound, touch, or movement
- Learning, attention, or problem-solving concerns
- General developmental delays during infancy and toddlerhood
Each evaluation looks at your child's overall development, helping families understand how different developmental areas work together.
Developmental Areas We Evaluate
Our comprehensive evaluations focus on the key areas of early childhood development, including:
Speech and Language Development
Understanding communication, language comprehension, and early expressive skills.
Motor Skills Development
Evaluating gross motor milestones, coordination, balance, and fine motor abilities.
Cognitive Development
Assessing attention, learning, memory, and early problem-solving skills.
Social and Emotional Development
