Supporting Families
Agency providers play a vital role in the success of a child’s development.
- Use parent and professional child developmental tools:
- Communication Checklists – checklists from birth to age four to help identify communication difficulties.
- Hearing Development Milestones– milestones from birth to age four to help monitor how a child’s hearing is developing as they grow.
- Early Vision Development Milestones – milestones from birth to age two to help monitor how a child’s vision is developing as they grow.
- 18 Month LookSee Checklist – a developmental tool that features a list of “yes” or “no” questions about a child’s abilities at 18 months as well as tips to help them grow.
Please note that only the 18 month checklist is free. There is a fee to use the checklists for other ages.
- Refer to Surrey Place if you have concerns about a child’s vison, hearing or communication skills
