Why it Matters: Early Detection leads to Early Intervention

The idea driving our work is simple: early detection leads to early intervention, and that changes lives. Too often, parents don’t know exactly what to look for in their baby’s development and delays go unnoticed. Pathways.org closes that knowledge gap by providing clear expert-reviewed milestones, real baby demonstrations, and activities, so families feel empowered to help their child reach their fullest potential.
