At Little Spurs Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, our developmental screenings give a full picture of your child’s growth and development. Using a combination of evaluations, observations, and standardized tools, we aim to identify any potential delays early so your child can get the support they need.
Our experienced pediatric developmental specialists approach every child with care and individuality, making sure each assessment is thoughtful, comfortable, and supportive.
During the screening, we look at key areas of development, including:
- Language and communication skills
- Fine and gross motor skills
- Social and emotional development
- Cognitive abilities
This helps us see if your child is meeting milestones appropriate for their age and stage of life.
Why Developmental Screening Matters
Early identification can make a big difference. When developmental delays are recognized early, children can access interventions sooner, which often leads to better long-term outcomes. If you’ve noticed something that feels “off” or just have questions about your child’s growth, you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place. Getting clarity is the first step toward helping your child thrive.
What Happens During a Screening?
Every screening is tailored to your child, but typically the process includes:
- Developmental & Medical History Review
We’ll start by talking through your child’s milestones, background, and any concerns you have. - Observation & Interaction
Our providers observe how your child plays, communicates, and interacts in a child-friendly environment. - Standardized Screening Tools
Age-appropriate tools may be used to evaluate specific areas of development. - Discussion & Next Steps
After the screening, we review findings with you, answer your questions, and discuss whether additional evaluations or services may be helpful.
