At the age of three, the child’s weight, height, development, and daily functioning are assessed. For the first time, the child’s visual acuity is tested at the family doctor’s office using an eye chart.

At this age, many independence and self-care skills – such as dressing, eating, and potty training – are becoming established, and speech develops rapidly. The checkup helps evaluate whether the child’s development is age-appropriate and if additional support might be needed. In case of a speech delay or difficulty, the child is referred to a speech therapist.
