Are you fed up of googling what is normal development?
It’s a mine field and unfortunately there are not the services readily available to discuss this concern. It’s also hard to know how to encourage your baby learn to roll, sit, crawl and walk and to know whether what they are doing are within “normal development”.
What are developmental milestones?
They are the skills and abilities that babies and children typically develop at certain ages. They are routinely used by healthcare professionals to track progress and help to identify any issues or delays. This can then help guide ongoing evaluation and treatment.
This is where we can help!
Paediatric physiotherapists use the assessment of developmental milestones as a routine and fundamental part of our assessments. We assess joint motion, muscle strength and tone and walking and movement patterns, all whilst your child is playing! This means that potential concerns can be identified and an intervention plan developed and implemented to help each child reach their full potential. Whilst it is important to recognise that every child develops at their own pace it is important to identify significant delay in reaching milestones so that further investigations can be completed under the care of a paediatrician.
What we can offer?
A thorough review of your baby or child’s physical, movement and milestone development.
Reliable information about typical development and time for all your questions.
