Each child is unique. Each child develops at their own pace as they learn to react to people and the world. Each child has his or her own style.
From birth a child goes through many physical and mental changes. Although no two children grow at the same rate, experts agree that there are "normal" signs of development.
Delay in any one of these areas can occur temporarily as a result of illness, or environmental factors, or it can be an indication of a long-term developmental problem.
As a parent you are the most important observer of your child's development. If your child has a special need, early help can make a very important difference to their life.
If you are concerned, it is important to contact a health professional or FOCUS Conductive Education to find out if your child needs intervention or attend a Developmental Programme to avoid more delay or more serious problems.
We offer a free assessment service.
