Symptoms of Developmental Delay
Symptoms of developmental delay that may call for therapeutic intervention include:
- Delayed motor development (sitting, crawling, walking, etc.)
- Delayed speech or oral motor skills
- Poor coordination or poor balance
- Limited purposeful play
- Distractible, overactive behavior
- Decreased attention span
- Inability to correctly perceive touch, sound or movement
- Limited social skills
- Delayed language development
Sensory Integration
Sensory integration is the ability to correctly process information gathered from all of the senses. It is what helps us respond appropriately to the world around us.
For most, the brain seamlessly processes all of our sensory information — touch, movement, body awareness, sight, sound, smell, taste and gravitational pull. For some children, the brain is less efficient. This is when a parent may notice one or more of the developmental delays described above.
Our highly-trained staff at Children's Therapy & Speech is able to evaluate children and develop therapeutic strategies that help them experience success in their interaction with their environment.
