Developmental milestones are “an action or ability marking a significant stage in development.” These markers of development:
Red Flags are warning signs that development may be delayed or atypical. These red flags are noticed when children don’t meet milestones as expected. Each child’s development is unique and develops in a continuum. But if a child shows a pattern of not being able to do things that most other children are doing at the same age, it may indicate that further assessment is needed. Red flags are cause for action but not alarm! Children benefit most when caregivers can identify potential delays and signs of challenges as early as possible. Remember it is not your role to diagnose children but to refer them for further assessment and possible early intervention. In Module 3 you will learn more about observing, assessing, and referring children.

Advising Parents of Their Child’s Individual Progress
WAC 170-295-2080 states that you must have written documentation signed by the parent in each child’s file stating that you have “advised the parent of the child’s progress and issues relating to the child’s care”. This may include documentation that they have received written observations or assessments, reviewed a child’s portfolio (a collected sample of their work), or attended a parent-teacher conference. You can contact your local resource and referral agency or community and technical college for more information about developmentally appropriate assessments of children."
