Health Information
Milestones are steps, or behaviours, that show the progress of expected development during a specific age range. Milestones include physical skills, like sitting, standing, and walking, as well as first words, toilet training, sleeping, and emotional and sensory development.
Sometimes children don’t meet milestones as expected because of a developmental or medical diagnosis. If your child has a new or suspected diagnosis, learn how you can help.
Pediatric rehabilitation can help if your child is having challenges in these areas of development.
Learn how to help your child or youth in their development. Healthy Parents Healthy Children is a partner website where you can find information about your child’s milestones.
Remember to talk to your healthcare providers for any questions or concerns that you have.
