Pediatric physical therapist and birth-to-three developmental specialist. Founder of Birth to Three Growth. For more than 20 years, my work has focused almost entirely on infants and toddlers.
Lisa Lazor, PT is a licensed pediatric physical therapist who specializes in early intervention for children from birth to age three. Over more than two decades, she has completed thousands of developmental evaluations of babies and toddlers, using standardized developmental assessments to look at the whole child: movement, communication, learning and play, eating, sensory processing and social-emotional development.
She is the founder of Birth to Three Growth, where she teaches parents how to understand their child's development and what to do next, through everyday play.
If 20 years with babies and toddlers have taught me one thing, it's this: children rarely develop as neatly as a milestone chart makes it look. A child may move quickly through one area and take more time in another, skip a skill, or approach it differently.
So I don't stop at "is my child behind?" I look at which underlying skill is getting in the way, and I give parents a step-by-step plan to build it. I'm a fixer. Every activity I teach tells you what to do, what I'm watching for, and exactly what to change when it isn't working.
"You stop seeing delays everywhere. You start seeing your child, and you know how to help."
Tummy time, rolling, crawling, walking, head turning to one side, W-sitting and toe walking.
The skills that come before talking, first words and early conversation.
Picky eating, gagging, textures, chewing and utensils.
Sleep that keeps changing, sensory overload, tantrums and calming.
