CDC — LEARN THE SIGNS. ACT EARLY.

The CDC’s Learn the Signs. Act Early. program provides free resources to help families and professionals monitor children's developmental milestones from infancy through age 5.

Families can use developmental milestone checklists and other resources to learn how children typically play, learn, speak, act, and move at different ages. Parents and caregivers who have concerns about a child's development are encouraged to discuss those concerns with the child's healthcare provider and ask about developmental screening.
