Developmental Screenings: Supporting Every Stage of Growth
Developmental Screenings in Orlando Serving Oviedo & Alafaya, FL
Every child grows and develops at their own pace, but some developmental concerns can be easier to address when identified early. That’s where developmental screenings come in. At Doctor Q Pediatrics, serving families in Orlando, Oviedo, and Alafaya, FL, Dr. Marie R. Quiñonez offers comprehensive developmental assessments designed to support a child’s growth, learning, and well-being from infancy through adolescence.
What Are Developmental Screenings?
Developmental screenings are brief, standardized tools used to identify whether a child is reaching age-appropriate milestones in areas such as:
Speech and language
Motor skills (both gross and fine)
Cognitive development
Emotional and social behaviors
These screenings are typically conducted during regular well-child visits but may also be scheduled separately if a parent or caregiver expresses concerns.
Why Early Detection Matters
Many developmental delays and conditions—such as speech disorders, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, or learning differences—respond best to early intervention. Identifying these challenges early allows children to receive the therapies and educational support they need during the most critical years of brain development.
Even if a screening does not lead to a diagnosis, it helps track progress over time and offers parents peace of mind.
Ask questions about your child’s behavior and development
Observe how your child interacts, moves, and communicates
Use age-appropriate questionnaires or screening tools
Discuss any specific concerns you’ve noticed at home or in school
If results suggest that further evaluation is needed, Dr. Quiñonez will guide you through next steps, which may include referrals to a specialist, speech-language therapist, occupational therapist, or developmental pediatrician.

Dr. Quiñonez is committed to helping families understand every aspect of their child’s development. Whether a child needs additional support or simply reassurance that they're on track, parents can count on thoughtful, individualized care at every visit.
