Milestones in Action
Do you have developmental concerns about your child in foster care? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides a gallery of photos and videos showing developmental milestones by age. Click on the appropriate age group for your child.

NOTE: If you think your child is not meeting the milestones for his or her age, or if you think there could be a problem with the way your child plays, learns, speaks, acts and moves, please consult your doctor and share your concerns.
