Relationships and Community

Note communication, play, sensory responses, routines, strengths, and situations that are difficult.

Ask what developmental screening is available, whether a referral is appropriate, and what the expected wait may be.

Gather school notes, previous reports, medical history, examples of concerns, and questions you want answered.

Adjust communication, routines, sensory environments, and transitions based on what is helping or causing difficulty.

Review insurance, financial help, and local assistance if cost or access is making support harder to reach.

Read experiences from families who have navigated early concerns, screening, referrals, and evaluation.
