Developmental Resources & screenings

SMPNS is fortunate to have several current and alumni families with early childhood development expertise.

General Resources

If you are looking for information on developmental norms and milestones, our Drive has a curated list of milestone charts by age & Parent Resources. Please remember that a Milestone is what 90% of children can do by a certain age, and an Average is what 50% of children can do by a certain age. Information from the San Mateo Foster City School District is also available here. 

Speech-Language & Feeding

If you are looking for specific resources on communication and feeding development, speech-language pathologist Rachel Kammeyer, MA, CCC-SLP has put together this resource guide, which contains links to developmental norms, organizations, podcasts, and community resources. She is also able to provide screening services. Please fill out the consent to screen form here. 

Occupational Therapy

Alumna Rachel Davidson Ed.M, OTR/L is an Occupational Therapist and provides consultations to our families even though she is no longer local. You can find more information on her website and Instagram and see a recent Parent Ed she gave on Emotional Regulation here.
