The document discusses developmental red flags or signs that indicate the need for further evaluation of a child's development. It notes there are absolute indicators referred to as red flags, including behavioral or developmental markers that suggest evaluation is needed. Parents should see these flags as a sign to request developmental screening to ensure a child is progressing appropriately. If a child shows two or more signs, parents should seek an immediate evaluation from their pediatrician. The document also stresses the importance of early intervention for children showing developmental delays or issues.

1. Reflection paper about the red flags, developmental delays and
irregularities in the child’s development shared by the invited professional. DEVELOPMENTAL RED FLAGS Signs and Symptoms of Developmental Delays. In clinical terms, there are a few "absolute indicators," often referred to as "red flags," that identify the behavioral or developmental markers suggesting the need for further evaluation. For a parent, these "red flags" should serve as a catalyst prompting developmental screening to ensure that the child is on the right developmental path. If your child shows two or more of these signs, please ask your pediatric healthcare provider for an immediate evaluation. It is also highly recommended that whenever a parent suspects that there may be such concerns that you go through a Referral Process to ensure that your child gets the help he or she needs. Doctors used to (and some still do) take a "wait and see" approach, but today it is clear that early intervention is the key to the greatest possible outcomes for children with such issues. 2.
