Toddler Milestones

Let’s review 15 months - 24 months. These are the months I want to focus in on, as they are often times the ages I get referrals or parents asking if their child is on track. Ideally we would want to see the following skills emerging around these developmental ages. I’ve narrowed the skills down to the most prominent, and what I look for upon initial parent interview!
