Episode #51: Developmental Milestones

This week Emily and Jamie sit down to discuss developmental milestones— a very hot topic after the CDC's recent update to their guidelines. We understand that this is generally overwhelming and hope to give guidance on the meaning of the updated recommendations and early intervention services (known as "Family Ties" in Massachusetts). Covered in this episode: - Early interventions — what is it? - What does EI involve? - Who applies for EI? - How to get an EI assessment? - How a milestone is classified - OT/ PT/ Speech - Advocating for your child - Referrals (you do not NEED one) - When to ask for help - Taking advantage of resources and support - 0 to 3 years old - Qualifications Referenced in this episode: State by state list of early intervention programs: https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/actearly/parents/states.html Follow us on IG @nurturebynaps
