Why do Pathways.org FREE resources matter?
Helping baby’s development at a young age takes full advantage of neuroplasticity. In the early months of life, baby makes 1 million neural connections every second—that’s more development than in any other period of life! That’s why early detection matters. Supporting baby’s brain growth in the first year sets the foundation for the rest of their life.

Baby’s brain will double in size in the first year, and grow 80% in the first three years. So tracking baby’s milestones and talking to a healthcare provider when a delay is detected can change the trajectory of baby’s life for the better.
There are 140 million babies born each year in the world, and our mission doesn’t end until each one has the resources their parents need to track and support their development.
Thank you for your support, and for helping babies around the world with your generosity.
