Child Development Monitoring

Is Your Child Growing Right? Let's Make Sure. Sub-headline: Expert assessment of your child's growth, milestones, and development — from infancy through school age

Every child grows at their own pace — but some delays need timely attention. Early identification of growth or developmental concerns can make a lifelong difference.

At Aryan Multispeciality Hospital, Dr. Abhishek Arya (MD Pediatrics, Fellowship in Neonatology) conducts structured development assessments covering physical growth, motor skills, speech, social behavior, and learning milestones — and guides parents with practical steps when support is needed.

FAQ

Q1. At what ages should development be checked?

A. Ideally at every vaccination visit, and specifically at 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months, then yearly. High-risk babies need more frequent checks.

Q2. My child isn't talking yet — should I worry?

A. Speech develops at different rates, but if a child has very few words by 18 months or no two-word phrases by 2 years, an assessment is advisable.

Q3. What are warning signs of developmental delay?

A. Not responding to sounds, not making eye contact, not sitting by 9 months, not walking by 18 months, or loss of previously learned skills — these warrant evaluation.

Q4. My baby was premature. Does development get assessed differently?

A. Yes, premature babies are assessed by "corrected age," and we specialize in structured follow-up of such babies.

Q5. Can developmental delays be treated?

A. Many delays improve significantly with early intervention — therapy, stimulation, and nutrition. The earlier we start, the better the results.
