Childhood developmental delays have been steadily increasing and the CDC estimates that up to 1 in 6 children between the age of 3 and 17 have a developmental delay. These delays, if left untreated, may interfere with their daily lives all the way into adulthood. We are passionate about bringing awareness to this growing issue and helping parents take action to better their children’s lives. The science shows us that the earlier a developmental delay is caught and is treated, the better the outcome. This is our first step to help address this problem and our goal is to continue to provide more support and resources for parents.
