When a child is one year old, there are several signs we look for as Occupational Therapists that may indicate a motor delay. In this video you'll learn what those signs of possible delays are and how to spot them.
These signs don't necessarily mean a delay is present. But they do indicate that further assessment may be needed to determine if your little one is experiencing a delay. Identifying motor delays early helps reduce the amount of treatment needed, as well as the intensity of that treatment, so the earlier you can identify a delay, the better the outcomes for your child. And because you probably spend more time with your child than anyone else, you’re in the best position to notice these red flags early on.
Remember, there's no need to panic if you do notice any of these signs - they simply indicate the possibility of a motor delay, and the next step should be to take your little one for further assessment by a health professional to determine whether or not a delay does exist and what, if any, action is needed.
