Child Development – Normal? Or Delayed?

All children grow and develop at their own pace; it is common for some children to lag behind with rest of the hikers, that is behind our estimates in play, motor skills, communication, language, or social skills. Even after a little extra attention and hand holding, when you sense that the progress is not evident, and that milestones are not achieved; it may be a sign of delayed development. Parents and Providers must be alert, attentive, and know what to look for.

There are many possible causes of differences in a child’s development. These ranges from developmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities, genetic disorders, learning disabilities, hearing or vision impairments, and the effects of medical illnesses or injuries.
