Importance of Developmental Milestones
Developmental milestones are markers of a child’s growth and are based on what most children can do at a certain age. They are important behaviors or skills established during growth and are the building blocks for more complex movements and abilities. These milestones are often skipped or delayed for children who have experienced trauma. Developmental milestones are used to measure growth and offer insight to a child’s health, and are also an essential part in determining whether a child needs therapy services.
