Developmental Delay in Children

Developmental delay means a child is slower to reach milestones like sitting, walking or coordination. Early physiotherapy support can help build skills at the child's own pace.

Common Symptoms

Do's

  • Encourage floor-time play and movement daily
  • Celebrate small progress and milestones
  • Follow early intervention therapy consistently
  • Keep pediatrician and therapy appointments regular

Don'ts

  • Don't compare your child's pace to others
  • Avoid delaying assessment hoping they'll catch up
  • Don't skip therapy sessions once started
  • Avoid being overly restrictive or overly pushy

When to see a physiotherapist: Consult a pediatrician or physiotherapist if your child is noticeably behind expected milestones for their age.
