This year, Speech Pathologists, parents, and other professionals have taken to social media with their concerns about the updated CDC Developmental Milestones. In this interview with developmental pediatrician, Dr. Cheryl Tierney explains what these changes really mean.

So how the CDC milestone changes affect you? When discussing the reanalysis of the CDC Milestones, it is important to understand what was actually changed and why. Several years ago, prior to COVID, professionals were tasked with projects to examine current research literature and adapt milestone surveillance as needed. Surveillance is an important word here as it is much different than screening. Surveillance is the questions asked and observations made during child well-checks to assess development. Surveillance, combined with exams, screening, and parental concern work together to create a need for referrals and diagnosis. The changes made with the CDC were to create clear, concrete language and timelines to take the guesswork and ambiguity from pediatricians.

Since 2015, she’s created 3 autism online courses based on applied behavior analysis for professionals and "gung-ho" parents.
