The CDCgov and AmerAcadPeds Have Updated Their Guidelines for Developmental Milestones:
The American Academy of Pediatrics and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention havetheir developmental milestone guidelines for young children. This is the first update to the guidelines since they were announced in 2004.
The goal of the updates is to make it easier for parents, caregivers and healthcare providers to catch conditions like autism earlier, as well as to give them a clear baseline against which to measure milestones. Plus, the organizations also raised the percentage of kids who normally meet milestones from 50 percent to 75 percent, indicating that most young children are developing in accordance with their age.
“This has been a need that is long overdue,” Paul Lipkin, a pediatrician, director of medical outpatient services at Baltimore’s Kennedy Krieger Institute and one of the 13 experts that worked on the updated guidelines, told. “We wanted to take a close look at all the data and milestones through multiple sources to come up with what we think is an accurate reflection of a child’s development.”
The experts hope that with the updated guidelines, parents, caregivers and pediatric healthcare professionals will be able to catch developmental delays early and start taking preventative measures sooner.Please note: The Bump and the materials and information it contains are not intended to, and do not constitute, medical or other health advice or diagnosis and should not be used as such.
