Developmental screening is essential to identify delays or difficulties in a child’s physical, cognitive, language, or social development. Problems may include speech delays, difficulty in motor skills, trouble focusing, or lack of interaction. Symptoms such as limited eye contact, delayed speech, inability to follow simple instructions, or difficulty walking may indicate the need for screening. The time taken for an assessment varies, typically ranging from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the child’s needs. Early screening benefits children by allowing timely intervention, improving learning abilities, and supporting overall development.
