Did you know that autism screenings are part of your child`s routine well visits?
These screenings are crucial in identifying developmental delays early, leading to better outcomes.
Autism screenings are typically done at 18 and 24 months, as early diagnosis is key to accessing early intervention therapies that can significantly improve a child`s development. Parents can also use these visits to discuss any concerns with their provider, ensuring that all aspects of a child’s development are monitored and supported.
Make sure to schedule your child`s well visit to ensure they receive their autism screening at the right time. Give the office a call today.

Do you have a pool or live near water?
Here are some things you need to know to keep your toddler safe around water:
- Never leave them unattended around water (including the bathtub).
- Use approved life jackets when in a body of water, not just a floatie.
- Teach water safety and enroll in swimming lessons as early as possible.
The U.S. Coast Guard provides guidelines and lists life jackets that are approved for use. Check their site for the latest information on safety standards.

Nasal congestion is an annoying symptom that can affect all ages!
Newborns are commonly congested due to their tiny nasal passages. To help your baby you can administer saline nasal drops or spray.
Older children often suffer from nasal congestion due to colds or allergies. For nasal congestion that is secondary to a cold, you can give your child saline nasal spray and suction or have them blow their nose if mucus is present. A warm steamy shower before bed, and a cool mist humidifier in their bedroom can ensure they get a peaceful night’s sleep.
If nasal congestion is caused by allergies, it is best to consult with your child’s provider to ensure the correct medication is being used. Medications such as nasal steroids or antihistamine can help.
Are these remedies not helping your child’s nasal congestion? Call our office today to schedule an appointment.
