Psychomotor Developmental Delay treatment in Cuautitlan Izcalli

Psychomotor developmental delay describes a slower-than-expected progression in the movement, coordination, and response skills that a child usually acquires as they grow. It may be noticed in postural control, crawling, walking, or handling objects.

How it is observed: the child takes longer to reach milestones such as holding up the head, sitting, walking, or coordinating movements, compared with what is usual for their age.

When is it advisable to check it? If you notice that your child is not progressing at the expected pace or you observe differences in the way they move, an early evaluation is worthwhile.

Support can rely on the physical therapist and on complementary therapists who work on stimulation and movement. Observing your child's development attentively and seeking care in time helps to better understand their situation and provide the appropriate support.
