Pathways Awareness Foundation is a national non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness about the benefit of early detection and early therapy for children with early motor delays. We strive to help all children develop to reach their fullest potential.

Our website, designed for both parents and professionals, contains valuable information about children’s physical development and crucial infant milestones, including a   growth and development chart that lets you track your child’s physical, play, and speech milestones from 3 to 15 months. Great tip: Print out our   chart and keep it on your refrigerator or above your changing table!

If you think there may be a delay in your child's development, don't silently worry. Early intervention can make all the difference. Please call our “parent answered” toll-free number at 1-800-955-CHILD (2445).

Parents know their child best; therefore they are most likely to be the first to notice when something is out of the ordinary in their child’s development. It is important for parents to express their concerns about their baby to their pediatrician or health care professional at the earliest time possible.

Working Together

When parents and health care professionals work as partners, the early warning signs of motor delays can be detected. Therapy can begin as early as three months after birth.
