Delayed milestones (sitting, walking, talking)

Delayed milestones mean a child takes longer than typical to reach developmental stages like sitting, walking, or talking. Early identification and intervention can significantly improve outcomes. Common causes include cerebral palsy, genetic conditions (Down syndrome) and premature birth complications. At AVN Arogya, our physicians assess it as part of care for Cerebral Palsy, Down’s Syndrome and Global Developmental Delay.
