sign of intellectual disabilities

Usually when we rant about our baby's development like 'Why isn't my baby walking yet?' or 'Why doesn't my baby have teeth yet?', most people will respond with things like 'It's okay... every baby has their own time' or 'Mine was like that also, but it's okay, don't worry.' But I just read about intellectual disabilities, and now I can't stop thinking about it. It said the signs are: - Delayed developmental milestones, such as crawling, walking, or speaking. - Difficulty with social interactions or limited eye contact. - Lack of interest in toys or objects. - Trouble following simple instructions or understanding simple concepts. - Persistent difficulty in learning new skills or concepts as they grow older. - Challenges with problem-solving or reasoning tasks appropriate for their age. Basically, everything we have been concerned about—at least once! What do you think, Parents?

Your worries are completely valid. It’s easy to brush it off sometimes but every child is different and no two children may respond the same way to things! As a Paediatric physiotherapist we encourage parents to seek guidance even if you have an inkling that something may not be right. If there truly is something to work on, you have gone at the right time instead of delaying. Sometimes seeing a professional can help ease your worries too - you can get the assurance you need and reduce your stress ✌🏽 Different parents cope differently, so don’t feel ashamed if you want to seek help!
