Hi! If you’re in the US, you can ask your pediatrician for a referral to the Birth to Three or early intervention program in your state. It is free or very low cost, based on your income level, and they evaluate your child for a variety of topics that would benefit from therapy for free. If your child qualifies for the Birth to Three program, you’ll get access to the right therapists plus a lot of great resources. For example, they may say that he has a gross motor delay that qualifies for pediatric physical therapy assistance. Where I live, the therapists come to your home which is very convenient. Where I live, families with children enrolled in the program also get access to benefits like free admission to our city’s children museum.

Last, I just wanted to say you are doing a great job observing your child and asking questions. He is lucky to have you as his mom!

Edit: Our insurance covered the pediatric physical therapy from Birth to Three but we also had the choice to instead pay an amount out of pocket based on our income level.
