The aim of this checklist is to assist teachers and parents to identify early on when a child has a developmental delay.
 
It is so important to remember that each child is unique. Each child develops at their own pace, therefore no two children's milestones will be achieved at exactly the same time. When using this checklist, one should remember to give a two to three months leeway to either side of the time frame given (e.g if it says that a child has to walk when they are one year old, it can mean that the child may start walking when he is 9 months or even 15 months old).
 
If you see that a child has a delay in more than two important areas, you should consult your pediatrician.
 
When a child has developmental delays, it is recommended that he receives therapy: speech therapy, occupational therapy, play therapy or which ever kind of therapy your pediatrician recommends.
 
A child that has developmental delays usually reaches a plato when twelve years old, so it is very important that this child receives therapy from an early an age as possible.
