August 10, 1994 Many infants show delays in areas of development during the early months of life. There is a large age range which is considered normal for the accomplishment of most skills. Delays in meeting motor, communiâ€" cation, and learning milestones may be an indication of a developmental delay. A developmental delay can lead to difficulties in school, peer relationships, or independent living. Parents are key observers of their own children‘s development. They may notice a problem or be concerned Tong before seeking professional help.

The family attends an intake clinic and depending on their needs services are provided either in their home or through clinâ€" ics.
