Is Your Child Meeting Their Developmental Milestones?
Are you wondering if your child is developing at a slower pace than they should be for their age? You may be comparing your baby to an older sibling and seeing some differences in when they walked and talked.
All children develop on their own timeline, but if you have concerns that your child is not developing at the pace at which they should be, know that help is available to you.
The fantastic team of pediatric therapists here at Kid PT can help.
Request a discovery session with Kid PT in Raritan, NJ today; our skilled therapists can screen your child for developmental delay and, if needed, devise a unique treatment plan to help them meet their milestones!
What is a developmental delay?
When a child does not meet developmental milestones within the range of “typical,” your pediatrician may recommend that they are seen by a pediatric therapist. Here are some examples of developmental milestones and their timeframes:
- Push up on arms during tummy time (3 months)
- Opens mouth as a spoon approaches (6 months)
- Claps hands (12 months)
Remember, there are cultural differences in raising children. Family heritage and traditions are always important to consider when looking at an infant’s development.
If your parent gut is telling you something feels off—whether it’s your baby not rolling yet or your toddler not walking—pediatric therapy could help. Addressing concerns early can make a big difference, helping your child reach important milestones while easing your worries.

What is pediatric therapy, and what can I expect during my child’s treatment?
Our clinic in Raritan, NJ, has a team of pediatric occupational therapists (OTs), speech therapists (SLPs), and physical therapists (PTs). Based on your child’s needs, one or all of our team members may treat your child. Here is what you can expect from each of the therapy disciplines:
- Occupational Therapists specialize in fine motor skills and activities of daily living (dressing, toileting, and feeding). They are experts in sensory-motor development and supporting toddlers to manage their big emotions.
- Physical Therapists are trained to address movement dysfunction. They will assess how your child is meeting their gross motor milestones, for example, rolling, crawling, and walking. They are experts in balance, coordination, and motor control.
- Speech Therapists specialize in communication development. They help children build speech, language, and social communication skills, including understanding and using words, expressing needs, and interacting with others. They are experts in early language development, speech sound development, and supporting children who may be experiencing speech or language delays.
- Feeding Therapists support children who have difficulty eating, drinking, or expanding the variety of foods they accept. Feeding therapy may address picky eating, oral motor skills, sensory sensitivities, and challenges with chewing or swallowing. These specialists help children develop safe, comfortable, and positive eating experiences while supporting healthy growth and nutrition.
Our skilled therapists are ready to help your child and we look forward to helping your child gain independence, improve their skills, and have fun while doing so.
