Pediatricians use a variety of tools and methods to diagnose growth and developmental delays:
Developmental Screening: Brief assessments to identify children who may need a more detailed examination. Growth Charts: Tracking a child's growth over time to identify deviations from expected patterns. Standardized Tests: Formal assessments to evaluate specific areas such as cognition, language, and motor skills. Parental Reports: Gathering information from parents about their child's development and behavior.
