Area Served

If you have concerns about your child's developmental progress, you are probably wondering what to do, who to contact, and when to ask for help? WE CAN HELP

• It is a good idea to look at a Developmental Checklist like the one from The Early Childhood Direction Center. Keep in mind that all children develop at different rates and that checklists indicate the typical time frames for skill attainment.
• Looking for Developmental Red Flags can be very helpful in terms of helping you decide when it is time to get help.
• If have concerns that your child may be showing signs of Autism check out the Red Flags of Autism link.  Our agency is one of the few sites in Western New York that conducts Autism Evaluations.
• It is very important that whenever a parent suspects that there may be developmental delays or red flags that you go through a Referral Process to ensure that your child gets the help he or she needs. Doctors used to take a "wait and see" approach, but today it is clear that early intervention is the key to the greatest possible outcomes for children with such issues.
• Often, pediatrician's can be helpful in determining whether it is appropriate to make a referral for further evaluation.

We can help you through the Process.
