Your daily observations of the child’s developmental progress will prove to be very beneficial to the Case Manager and others providing services for the child. When a child enters care, the Case Manager will obtain as much developmental history as possible from the parent, extended family, and medical records. The age at which a child masters developmental milestones can provide valuable information regarding the child’s medical status and other needs which may require special services. The earlier these needs are identified, the greater the likelihood they can be corrected or at least prevented from further deterioration. Developmental assessments will be completed by the child’s health provider during scheduled screenings.
