Why you need this development guide
The Readiness Profile makes your search to understand the whole child as stress-free as possible. In one guide, you’ll see the whole map of your child’s development, not just the next step.
It’s never been easier to understand how being behind in one small area doesn’t mean your child is a slow learner. They may be exceptionally advanced in another part of their development. Timelines that only show one topic at a time make it difficult to see how the whole child is developing across all phases.
-

Based on research from leading experts
All children develop at different rates. No two children are alike in their capabilities, experiences, or development. The Readiness Profile provides a set of guidelines and milestones but is not medical advice. We are not medical doctors.
The Readiness Profile is a one-of-a-kind integration of research from multiple highly respected sources, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Institutes of Health, the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential, and others.
