Neurological Assessment for Developmental Concerns in Children

A child's developmental progress is closely connected to brain and nervous system development. Delays in movement, speech, learning, communication or social interaction may sometimes be associated with neurological conditions. The Department of Paediatric Neurology provides specialised evaluation for children with developmental concerns and neurological developmental disorders.

Developmental Neurological Assessments

Developmental neurological assessment evaluates the child's neurological function together with age-appropriate developmental milestones.

Assessment may include:

• Gross and fine motor development
• Muscle tone and reflexes
• Speech and language development
• Cognitive and learning abilities
• Coordination and movement
• Behavioural and social development

Depending on the findings, children may be referred for additional investigations or multidisciplinary support.

Multidisciplinary Developmental Support

Children requiring rehabilitation may be supported through physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and developmental therapy according to their individual needs.Regular follow-up helps monitor progress and modify treatment or rehabilitation plans as the child grows.
