Developmental Delay Assessment for Children in Kochi

Developmental delay refers to slower-than-expected progress in one or more areas of childhood development. These may include movement, speech, communication, social interaction, cognition or daily living skills. Early identification allows families to begin appropriate support during important stages of brain development.

Developmental Delays

Children may require assessment if they are not achieving age-appropriate milestones in areas such as:

• Sitting, standing or walking
• Speech and language
• Fine motor skills
• Social interaction
• Learning
• Self-care activities

Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Neurodevelopmental disorders include a broad group of conditions that affect the development and functioning of the brain and nervous system.

Depending on the child’s symptoms, evaluation may involve developmental, neurological, behavioural, speech and cognitive assessments.

Multidisciplinary Support

Children with developmental concerns may benefit from coordinated services including occupational therapy, speech therapy, physiotherapy, behavioural therapy and developmental intervention.
