Abstract

A normal child constantly attains milestones in various domains- motor, cognitive, language and social. When he fails to do so, we must discriminate whether he has a normal variation, a delay or a loss of previously attained milestones. We also need to know whether it is in one domain or many. The domain in which the delay occurs also helps to classify the problem. A child with cerebral palsy will have predominantly a delay in motor milestones.
