Infant Development

Infant development and screening involve the following areas:

• Gross motor

• Fine motor

• Communication

• Problem solving

• Personal-social

• Social-emotional


Your baby’s first relationship is with you. There are many ways to promote your baby’s development:

• Teach them their little world is a safe place and that they are loved.

• Quickly respond to your baby’s needs and be very gentle and loving.

• When your baby is fussy, try to uncover the reason (scared, hungry, thirsty, cold, hot, etc.) Responding to your baby’s wants and needs will help form a strong emotional attachment between you both. A strong bond is one of the best things for your baby’s development.


What signs should I watch out for that could indicate my baby needs a developmental evaluation?

Signs from birth to 12 months include:

• Having eating difficulties.

• Not gaining weight or is losing weight.

• Sleeping difficulties (too much/too little).

• Showing little preference for any adult.

• Resists holding.

• Crying for prolonged periods.

• Being hard to console.

• Rarely making eye contact with others.

• Not showing interest in people or things going on around them.

• Not reacting to simple games like peek-a-boo.

Infant Developmental Screening and Development Activities

Because your child’s first 5 years of life are so important, we want to help you provide the best start for your child. We provide the Ages & Stages Questionnaires®, Third Edition (ASQ-3TM), to assess your child’s development. Screenings will be provided every 2, 4, or 6 month period. The screening includes questions about your child’s communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal-social skills. If the questionnaire shows concerns, we will provide you with activities to improve their development.  If there are serious concerns, your child will be referred on to have a more involved assessment. 

We look forward to helping your family ensure your child reaches their maximum potential.
