Milestones Matter: Navigating Early Childhood Development
In this episode of While You Grow, we dive into the critical role of developmental milestones in early childhood. Dr. Courtney Addison and Addison Powell explore what milestones are, why they matter, and how parents and professionals can support children in reaching them. We’ll discuss trusted milestone resources, how to identify potential delays, and when to seek early intervention.
We’ll also take a deep dive into the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales, 3rd Edition (PDMS-3)—a widely used assessment tool by occupational therapists. Learn how the Peabody helps evaluate fine and gross motor skills, what the results mean, and how they inform intervention strategies.
Whether you're a parent, therapist, or educator, this episode is packed with insights to help children grow and thrive. Tune in to learn how to track progress, access reliable resources, and support every child’s unique developmental journey!
