Developmental milestones are abilities achieved by most children by a certain age.  Developmental screening can be thought of as a snapshot of your child’s  communication, movement, learning,  self-help, problem solving, and social emotional skills.  Developmental screening is important because it can help you celebrate when your child meets his or her developmental milestones and determine if your child needs additional support.  We offer developmental screening at no charge to families of children birth to 5 years old living in Hillsborough County.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1 in 5 children will develop some form of delay or disability prior to Kindergarten. First launched in 1986, ECC’s Community Developmental Screening Program provides a comprehensive approach to early identification and intervention to ensure that young children with developmental concerns receive the help they need in order to enter Kindergarten ready to learn and succeed. This highly collaborative program was deemed a ‘Best Practice’ by the Florida Department of Education (FDOE).
