Speech, Language, & Feeding Norms
It can be very difficult to know where your child's skills should be. Your parents, friends, and pediatrician might think your child is on target, but you might have a "gut feeling" that something is going on. (And the fact is that most children demonstrate "average" skills, ranging from the 16th to 84th percentile--what a huge range!) It also doesn't help that many developmental checklists and websites have inaccurate and varying information. This is a huge problem because we must know what's "typical" or "average" in order to accurately diagnose delayed or disordered skills.
