Visit the "Learn the Signs. Act Early." website (www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/actearly/) for information about childhood developmental milestones and delays. You'll be able to track the developmental milestones your child should be reaching, see how milestones change as your child grows, and download fact sheets on developmental milestones for children from 3 months to 5 years, along with information on developmental screening and developmental disabilities.
