Developmental Delay
Developmental delay refers to a child reaching certain age-appropriate milestones later than expected, such as sitting, walking, talking, or interacting. It can affect a single area or several at the same time, with very diverse causes and nuances.
Aspects worth observing: delays in language, in motor skills, in attention, or in relating to others, compared with what is expected for the stage.
Which specialists assess it? The pediatrician usually performs the initial evaluation and, depending on the findings, the pediatric neurologist participates. Detecting any lag in time and discussing it with a professional helps guide the support that each child needs in their development.
