DEVELOPMENTAL ASSESSMENT

When it comes to your wellness check-ups with Dr Mason, she will assess your little head-to-toe, making sure to measure and evaluate development milestones both physically and cognitively.

• Physical development
  Children grow up so fast. Growth encompasses changes in body composition, cognitive development, emotional intelligence as well as maturational milestones. Be it sitting up, crawling or walking; your paediatrician will make sure your little one has all that he or she needs to reach the physical developmental milestones for his or her age.
• Intellectual development
  In addition, Dr Mason will pay close attention to cognitive development such as exploring basic senses, perceptual abilities, babbling, talking and literacy development. Social skills like independence, curiosity, imitation, hugging friends, empathy and other psychological milestones that accompany each age will be monitored too.
• Neurodevelopment
  To ensure that psychological or neurodevelopmental issues do not go left unnoticed, any behavioural issues such as inattention, impulsivity, hyperactivity, anger, or frequent tantrums will also be discussed during these visits.

Your paediatrician will be able to evaluate these aspects of your child's health, ensuring that delays in physical or intellectual development are addressed appropriately, giving you as parents the advice needed to shape and support your child's development.
