Who should I contact if I think that my child has delayed large motor skills and speech development problems?

Answer by  Beth77 (49)

Talk to your child's pediatrician. If he has known them since birth, he would be the best person to diagnose any delays. He will also be able to refer you to a specialist in your area.

Certainly speak to your pediatrician. Remember that every child is different and will grow at different rates. You can also contact a preschool, they have resources to test children's growth levels.
