Several common early signs may indicate that a child requires further evaluation or intervention:
Delayed milestones: Missing key developmental milestones such as walking, talking, or social interaction might signal underlying issues. Speech and language delays: Difficulties in communication or a lack of age-appropriate language skills could be a red flag. Behavioral issues: Consistently aggressive, withdrawn, or anxious behavior may indicate emotional or developmental problems. Poor coordination: Difficulty with motor skills, such as catching a ball or drawing, can suggest developmental delays. Sensory sensitivity: Overreaction to sensory input like loud noises or bright lights might be a sign of sensory processing disorders.
