Red Flag Handout Landing Page

For some children, these Red Flags could be an early sign of a genetic condition. One thing you can do as a parent is determine if your child is meeting their developmental milestones for their age. To help you do this, find your child’s age on the CDC Learn the Signs. Act Early. website and fill out the checklist provided.

If you find your child is delayed or missing milestones the next step would be to talk with your child’s doctor.

This resource from AAP: Developmental Concern? Next Steps for Families and Caregivers is helpful for families and doctors to communicate next steps to evaluate a developmental delay.
