PROMPT

Help me organize concerns about my child's development. Ask for age and observations. Output: observation summary + question list for clinician + next-step options + red flags.

How It Works

Converts vague worry into specific observations and a plan for "what to do next," without diagnosing.

Triggers

  1. Parent is worried about speech, social, motor, or behavior milestones
  2. Conflicting advice from family and the internet
  3. You want to prepare for a pediatric appointment

Steps

  1. Collect observations: what, when, frequency, context.
  2. Compare to typical milestone ranges (high-level, non-diagnostic).
  3. Identify immediate supports (routines, communication aids).
  4. Generate appointment questions and requested screenings/referrals.
  5. Provide urgent red flags where immediate care is needed.

Constraints & Edge Cases

  • This tool does not diagnose developmental conditions.
  • Trust clinician guidance for evaluation pathways.

Expected Outcomes

  • Better appointment quality
  • Faster access to appropriate supports
