Developmental Delay

As we develop from birth, there are common developmental “milestones” that are reached around certain ages. For example, the ability to walk, taking first steps is generally between months 9 and 12. Another is at age 4-7 months, babies typically start babbling and engage, smiling at the parents. When children don’t meet their normal milestones in a reasonable amount of time, a delay in development can start to become evident.

Often development delay can be seen in babies who seem to be stiff or floppy, have difficulty holding their head steady, can’t sit on their own or don’t respond to noises or smiles, after the appropriate ages to do so. In addition, as a child with development delay gets older, they may have difficulty engaging in normal play, seem clumsy, have difficulty with running and other more challenging activities.

At our practice, we offer specialized services for children with developmental delays. Our team of experienced therapists utilizes evidence-based approaches to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of developmental delays. We understand that every child’s needs are unique, and we develop customized treatment plans tailored to each child’s specific needs.

We work closely with families to ensure that our therapy plans are both effective and practical, and that they can be easily integrated into daily routines. Our goal is to help children achieve their full potential in all areas of development, leading to improved overall health and quality of life.
