I emphasize that pediatricians play a crucial role in monitoring growth and development during well-child visits, and I outline the difference between surveillance and screening, recommending specific screening tools at key developmental milestones. I also highlight the significance of early intervention services available for children from birth to three years old, which can greatly enhance their development. I encourage all pediatric providers to be proactive in assessing and addressing developmental concerns during every visit. Lastly, I provide resources for further support and information on these topics.
