Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Developmental Milestones
Learn the Signs.  Act Early.  From birth to 5 years, your child should reach milestones in how he plays, learns, speaks, acts and moves. Track your child’s development and act early if you have a concern by using the CDC's Developmental Screening Tools.  The CDC offers a FREE Milestone Tracker App to help you track milestones and to suggest tips and activities for home.

National Institutes of Health (NIH) Speech and Language Developmental Milestones
The NIH provides a checklist of developmental milestones that can be shared with a doctor or speech language pathologist.  This checklist is based upon How Does Your Child Hear and Talk?, courtesy of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Mr. Ryan has been fantastic with my Autistic son. He uses play-based therapy to engage my child. He is very patient, flexible, knowledgeable in his field, and kind. My son has very limited verbal skills and it often takes several introductions for him to start to warm up to new people. We have only had a few sessions and my son already looks forward to seeing Mr. Ryan each week, which my son expresses to me directly. I recommend his services to anyone looking for speech therapy, but especially someone looking for services for a special needs child."
