Act early by talking to your child’s doctor if your child:
- Doesn’t crawl, Can’t stand when supported
- Doesn’t search for things that she sees you hide
- Doesn’t say single words like “mama” or “dada”
- Doesn’t learn gestures like waving or shaking head
- Doesn’t point to things, Loses skills he once had
