Lifesteps' Child Check program will provide free developmental and autism screenings for children, from birth to age 5 at Lifesteps Stirling Village, located at 375 Stirling Village Drive in Butler, from 9 a.m. to noon Aug. 16. A screening takes approximately 30 minutes to complete and the results are discussed immediately with parents or guardians. Appointments for in-person or online screenings are required and can be scheduled by calling Lifesteps at 724-283-1010 or 1-800-225-2010. Because early years are a critical time in a child's development, Lifesteps urges families to proactively have children assessed for developmental delays. Notable milestones in a child's development include certain aspects of hearing, talking, seeing, playing and basic social skills. By ensuring milestones are met at age appropriate benchmarks, children are far more likely to reach their potential.
