Pathways.org is a nationally recognized resource for parents and healthcare professionals seeking reliable guidance on baby and early childhood development. Since 1985, the organization has worked to help families and providers support children’s development and recognize potential delays early. Its free materials cover motor, sensory, communication, and feeding development, with information organized by age—from pregnancy and the NICU through childhood—and by topic.

Families can explore developmental milestones, parenting tips, articles, videos, and more than 300 development-focused games and activities. Pathways.org also offers tools including a milestone tracker, tummy-time timer, diaper and feeding trackers, a mobile app, brochures, and checklists. For healthcare providers, it provides online courses and professional resources related to early detection and intervention.

Resources are developed with and approved by pediatric healthcare experts, including physical and occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists. Milestone guidance draws on materials from the CDC and American Academy of Pediatrics. Pathways.org is a sister organization of Shirley Ryan AbilityLab and aims to help every baby get the best possible start.
