How to Talk About Child Development with a Pediatrician
Development is an important piece of a child’s overall health and should be addressed during well checkups, as well as in between if concerns arise or if they notice signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To better support these conversations, we turned to Dr. Chris Holmes, a pediatrician who specializes in behavioral health and conducts autism testing for Hopebridge Autism Therapy Centers.
Early Behavior and Communication Challenges to Look for in Babies and Toddlers
The sound of the first cry. The first time the eyes blink open. The first tooth that pokes through. – There are many ‘firsts’ parents look for, whether it be signs that the baby finally arrived, or developmental milestones as the kid grows. The firsts are exciting, but they aren’t everything. For a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or developmental disabilities, some of these firsts might be missed.
