'Does crawling matter?' is a question I’ve received often as parents and caregivers observe their children developing at their own pace, some crawling for months and others skipping it entirely.

While it might seem like just a phase on the way to walking, crawling actually plays a critical role in physical coordination, sensory integration, and even early brain development.

In this 30-minute training, we’ll explore why crawling matters, what it tells us about a child’s development, and what to do if your child takes a different path.

You'll hear from me (Stacy Benge) and Dr. Emily McGahey, a pediatric occupational therapist with extensive experience supporting children's physical and sensory development.
