Kate Wallis, a developmental behavioral pediatrician at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, talks about crucial updates to developmental milestones under the "Learn the Signs: Act Early" guidelines. She emphasizes that fewer than 25% of children with developmental disabilities access early intervention services before age 3. The discussion highlights new referral criteria, the importance of including milestones at 15 and 30 months, and how these updates aim to enhance clarity and cultural responsiveness for families. Practical tools for parents to track and support their child's development are also shared.
