Developmental Delays
When there are concerns about children’s speech, language comprehension, motor skills and behaviors, they are at risk.
Nutrition matters, especially in kids. This brief highlights the impact of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) on very young children. It describes who's eligible for WIC, what the program provides and how it improves children’s health and development.
Children under 3 years old who receive WIC are more likely to have good or excellent health. They are also at a lower risk for developmental delays due to insufficient access to health care, an iron-deficient diet and other concerns.
