Educational & Medical Disclaimer

Not medical or professional care

The Service is not medical care and is not a substitute for advice, screening, diagnosis, treatment, or evaluation by a pediatrician, psychologist, speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist, licensed educator, school district, or other qualified professional.

Use of the Service does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-client, teacher-student, attorney-client, or other professional relationship.

Every child develops differently

Development and learning vary from child to child. Any checklist response, result, percentage, progress indicator, suggestion, or activity is an informal educational aid—not a validated clinical assessment, diagnosis, school-admission decision, special-education eligibility decision, or guarantee of readiness or future performance.

When you have a concern

Use your own judgment and consider a child’s age, abilities, needs, and circumstances. If you have concerns about a child’s development, learning, behavior, hearing, vision, health, or loss of previously acquired skills, contact an appropriate qualified professional.

Do not delay seeking professional advice because of information on this Service. For a medical emergency in the United States, call 911.

Adult supervision and activity safety
