Abstract

Developmental milestones are a collection of objectives or indicators that a child is supposed to perform during development period. These are classified as gross motor, fine motor, verbal, cognitive, social-emotional, and behavioral. Monitoring and recognizing developmental milestones can assist providers in diagnosing delayed development more accurately, allowing for early intervention and improved results[1]. The term "developmental delay (DD)" refers to a delay in attaining baseline milestones in the 5 developmental domains[2]. Early DD is associated with poor attention and behavioral issues in infants and low academic performance in school-aged children, with future mental, emotional, social, and economical implications as these children mature into adolescence [3]
