About this service

Early support is available with Benchmark Montana Milestones. Every child grows at their own pace—but if you’re concerned, you don’t have to wait or wonder. Benchmark Montana Milestones offers free early childhood evaluations and support, with no waitlist, to families in North, Central, and Western Montana.

Every child grows at their own pace, but it helps to know what’s typical at different ages. These milestones offer general guidance on early development. Listed above are some typical developmental milestones, but they are not meant to represent all milestones. You can find a comprehensive list of social/emotional, language/communication, cognitive, and physical milestones on the CDC website.
