Baby & Childhood Developmental Screening in Singapore
Child developmental screening is carried out as a preventive measure to identify kids at risk of developmental delays and to make sure they receive the necessary assistance and intervention.
Much of an individual’s growth, health, and neurodevelopment is impacted by their formative years—in fact, the brain expands to about 80% of its adult size by the time a child is three. Therefore, all children should begin with a baby developmental assessment and undergo further screenings as they age.
If you’re looking for a childhood developmental screening in Singapore, feel free to reach out to us. With the assistance of our compassionate and experienced team, all parents can nurture their children supportively and maximise their potential.
Why vaccinate your baby?
At Babysteps Medical, we believe that children should not have to wait to get the help they need. Early intervention and support positively impact your child’s long-term development trajectory and ensure they can thrive in social and educational settings.
There are seven recommended touchpoints to be conducted at the following ages:
- 4-8 weeks
- 4 months
- 6 months
- 12 months
- 15-18 months
- 30 months
- 48 months
Child developmental screening can be conducted with the recommended childhood vaccinations. They also provide opportunities for you to discuss any concerns you may have regarding weaning, feeding, and caring for your baby or child.
During the child developmental assessment, your child will be monitored and assessed based on several developmental areas.
Physical development
Our doctors assess your child’s growth in terms of size and strength, as well as their development of gross and fine motor skills. This includes an evaluation of your child’s muscle movements, such as their ability to grasp, pinch, or walk.
We will also review your child’s sensory development.
Communication and linguistic skills
We look out for your child’s speech clarity and language development, including phonology, semantics, pragmatics, and syntax. Typically, toddlers at age two are capable of telegraphic speech.
Cognitive skills
Our team observes your child’s cognitive development, which includes their ability to pay attention, develop memories, and understand their surroundings.
