Developmental Milestone Assessment
Tracking Your Child’s Growth, One Milestone at a Time
Every child grows at their own pace—but timely developmental milestone assessments help ensure they’re hitting age-appropriate physical, cognitive, social, and emotional milestones. At Dr. Hegde Children’s Clinic, we provide expert developmental screening and early intervention support to help your child reach their full potential.
From the first smile to first steps and first words, we closely monitor your child’s development and work with you to support healthy growth at every stage.
Why Developmental Assessments Matter
Developmental delays can sometimes go unnoticed until they begin to affect learning, communication, or behavior. Regular assessments allow us to:
✔️ Identify early signs of delay in speech, motor skills, or social interaction
✔️ Recommend targeted interventions or therapies if needed
✔️ Guide parents on age-appropriate activities to encourage growth
✔️ Reassure you when your child is simply developing at their own unique pace

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We know parents have many questions about their child’s development. This FAQ section offers answers to some of the most common concerns, helping you understand what’s normal, what to watch out for, and when to seek help.
These are specific skills or abilities that most children achieve by certain ages, such as smiling, rolling over, speaking first words, or walking. They are grouped into categories like motor, speech, cognitive, and social development.
We assess milestones during all routine well-baby and child check-ups—typically at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months, then yearly. If there are concerns, more frequent monitoring may be recommended.
Not all delays are serious—some children develop a bit slower in one area but catch up later. However, if delays are significant or persistent, we may suggest further evaluation or therapy to support your child’s growth.
These assessments can help identify early red flags for conditions like autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, or speech delays. Early detection allows timely intervention, which often leads to better outcomes.
Spend quality time engaging your child through play, conversation, storytelling, and exploration. We’ll also guide you with age-appropriate activities and address any concerns you may have.
