Development Evaluation
Expert evaluations to check speech milestone timelines, gross/fine motor progress, social behaviors, cognitive growth, and early screenings for learning disorders, autism, and ADHD.
Key Medical Offerings:
- Screening motor coordination progress (sitting, standing, grip)
- Evaluating speech delay and communication milestones
- Early clinical screening for autism, ADHD, and cognitive delays
- Assessing social behaviors and peer interactions
- Parental counseling on early learning, toys, and screen-time
Importance of Early Intervention
The brain develops rapidly during the first few years of life. Developmental delays, if identified early, can be managed much more effectively with speech therapies, motor occupational therapies, or sensory plans.
Our developmental evaluation aims to reassure parents of normal progress or catch subtle delays early so that structured interventions can be set up immediately, maximizing the child's academic and social potential.
