SPECIALIZED GENETIC SERVICE
A developmental delay is when a child does not reach their developmental milestones at the expected times. An assessment aims to find the underlying cause, which can be genetic in many cases.
Any child showing significant delays in speech, motor skills, social skills, or cognitive abilities.
The assessment includes a detailed developmental history, physical exam, and potentially neurological and genetic testing to identify a cause.
Why is finding a diagnosis important?
A diagnosis can help parents understand why their child has delays, predict future challenges, and access specific therapies and support.
