Parents want the very best for their children, so it's natural for them to be concerned if a child misses a developmental milestone. Often, there is nothing to worry about; a child may simply need extra time or attention to “catch up” with peers. Sometimes, however, children do require more assistance. For some children an illness or injury may create a need for rehabilitation and specialized care. Community physicians and health care providers refer children to Providence Neurodevelopmental Center for Children to help identify and treat these developmental concerns.
