Inner Force Tots is a registered charitable organization that was founded by Dr. Garey V. Ellis more than two decades ago. Focusing primarily on children between the ages of 2 months and 5 years, Inner Force Tots adapts to each child’s development to provide the best care possible.
Even though children reach developmental milestones at their own pace, they should reach certain milestones within an established time. Delays can be caused by a wide range of issues, including autism.
On average, 10 to 15 percent of children under the age of 3 have had a developmental delay. Most of the time, parents notice when their child is struggling with crawling, walking, or other gross motor skills.
However, problems with fine motor skills, such as moving toys between hands, may not be spotted by parents until their child gets older. Language issues may be another challenge, particularly when a child cannot understand certain words or express ideas correctly.
Since developmental delays are specific to developmental milestones, parents should become familiar with the normal physical and cognitive skills their child should have at certain ages. For example, healthy babies are capable of grasping and reaching for objects by about 3 to 4 months. They can stand when holding onto something by 9 months and communicate their desires in nonverbal ways by the age of 1 year.
When parents know about these milestones, they are better prepared to spot behaviors that signify that their child is developing slower than normal. Recognizing delays and seeking treatment quickly improve a child’s chances of getting back on track.
