Children reach milestones in how they play\, learn\, speak\, act\, and move (crawling\, walking\, etc.) and include physical growth\, cognitive development\, emotional and social development\, language development\, and sensory and motor development. Some children splinter and scatter some of those skills. In this conversation\, we’ll highlight the important things to look for and decipher when it may be time to get further evaluation from a professional. \nPresented by Jan Feurig\, Occupational Therapist & Julie Briggs\, Board Certified Behavior Analyst\n \nJoin the conversation: \n\nFacebook Live\nJoin us in-person at Family Initiative’s Autism Support Center at 734 SW 4th St. Cape Coral\, FL 33991\n\n  \nUpcoming Community Conversations \nTopic: Making Sense of What We See\nDate: Friday\, March 4\nTime: 12:15 p.m. – 12:45 p.m.
