Developmental problems in children can affect their physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development. These issues often manifest as delays or difficulties in meeting developmental milestones and may require early intervention and professional support.

Dr. Priyanka Sinha, a qualified pediatrician with over 11 years of experience, specializes in diagnosing and managing developmental issues in children. She provides personalized care and early intervention to ensure children receive the support they need to thrive.

Common Developmental Problems in Children

Developmental delays and issues can manifest in various ways. Some of the most common problems include:

• Speech and Language Delays: Difficulty in speaking or understanding language. Early speech therapy can help improve communication skills.
• Motor Skills Delays: Challenges in coordination or fine motor skills, such as difficulty with writing, using utensils, or tying shoelaces.
• Learning Disabilities: Children with learning disabilities may struggle with reading, writing, or math, despite having normal intelligence.
• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): ASD affects social skills, communication, and behavior. Early diagnosis and therapy can significantly improve outcomes.
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Children with ADHD may have difficulty focusing, controlling impulses, and following instructions.
• Intellectual Disabilities: These may involve developmental delays that impact a child's cognitive functioning and ability to learn in a typical manner.
