Milestone evaluation and early intervention planning — Apollomedics Lucknow
A developmental assessment evaluates a child's progress across all areas of development — motor skills (gross and fine), speech and language, cognitive abilities, social and emotional development, and adaptive behaviour — against age-expected norms. It identifies delays, determines their extent and pattern, guides investigation for underlying causes, and forms the foundation of an early intervention plan. The Child Development Centre at Apollomedics Lucknow offers comprehensive developmental assessment for children from 3 months to 18 years.
Developmental assessment can begin from 3 months of age — earlier for premature infants and those with identified risk factors. The earlier concerns are identified, the sooner intervention can begin.
Previous medical reports, school reports, vaccination records, and any therapy reports — these help contextualise the assessment.
Depending on the findings, investigations such as MRI brain, genetic testing, metabolic screen or EEG may be recommended. Dr. Gopaal coordinates all investigations with explanation of their purpose.
