Developmental delay is the disorder from which a child falls behind other children of the same age in one or more developmental milestones. These benchmarks can expand the skills in physical mobility, speaking, learning, social interaction, emotional control and physical ability.

What are developmental milestones?
Developmental milestones are useful indicators to help determine the level of development of the child in different areas. This includes:
❖ Physical milestones: including using a spoon or drawing, up, sitting, walking and fine motor skills.
❖ Speech and language milestones: first words, ability to follow simple directions and ability to participate in conversation.
❖ Social and emotional milestones: interaction with others, expressing emotions and adapt to changes in routine.
❖ Cognitive milestones: Learning through problem solution skills, knowledge and effects, and learning through exploration.
Major areas of development for monitoring
Motor skills: The first things inspect the parents, the physical milestones related to motor skills are. Children are expected to reach several physiological milestones between birth and the age of five, including raising, rolling, sitting, creeping and walking. Children aged two should be able to run and climb. Should your child struggle with rolling, sitting without help, or running from anticipated age, may indicate the need for pediatric consultation and evaluation.
Speech and language development: Social and cognitive development of children depends a lot on their language ability. Children pronounce their first word in 12 months, and for two years they add two to three words. Development delays may appear as a delay in speech or language capacity. A speech or language delay is understood, which requires more evaluation. If a child does not do for six months, it does not say his first word for a year, or has difficulty in following simple directions.

Why is initial intervention important?
Recognizing developmental delay can help give best possible results. Initial remedies such as speech therapy, physical therapy, or behavior therapy can help the youth to “stop the development gap” with their peers, and get the skills necessary to lead a quality life. .
