Children & Family

Fueling dreams for future generations.
Because every child deserves the best start.

We’re passionate about creating an inclusive world for everyone, and that starts at birth.

No one’s disability should define who they are or who they will become. We believe anyone can aim for any path and that possibilities are endless.

Get a developmental screening for a child

Child with mom

Children should have regular developmental screenings just like well-child checks. It’s a quick and simple way to monitor a child's overall development. The earlier a developmental delay or disorder is detected, the better for the child. Since birth to three is a critical time, a delay in diagnosis may have a greater effect on a child's chances for success.


Parents can monitor their child’s development and milestone achievement using our online questionnaire. If there is a concern, a Developmental Specialist will connect with you.
