Developmental Milestones In Children

Page 2: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

Growth & Development• Growth refers to an increase in physical size of the whole body

or any of its parts. • It is simply a quantitative change in the child’s body.• It can be measured in Kg, pounds, meters, inches, ….. Etc• Development refers to a progressive increase in skill and

capacity of function. • It is a qualitative change in the child’s functioning.• It can be measured through observation.

Page 3: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

Developmental domins:

• Includes four areas: • Gross Motor: sitting, walking, jumping, and

overall large muscle movement • Fine Motor: Eye hand coordination, manipulation

of small objects, and problem solving • Language (Expressive and Receptive): Hearing,

understanding, and using language • Cognitive/Social/Adaptive: Getting along with

people and caring for personal needs

Page 4: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

Important notes

• We will assess two ages; infant and older children.• Be a good observer. during assessment of development: say ?• 'Demonstrated' is better than 'can' or 'cannot'. It

means that the parents cannot correct you?• Remember you are only assessing the child over a

few minutes. We will decide on today the child can not demonstrate? And not; he can not ?

In general:

• The single most common presenting concern was speech and language delay.

• The most common clinical developmental diagnosis was autism spectrum disorder.

• Global developmental delay.• ADHD• Learning Disabilities• Cognitive impairment• CP

Page 30: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

Causes of developmental delay

Page 31: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

Developmental examination for the Short Case examination

• It is important when assessing development to make comments under the four main headings:

• Gross motor• Fine motor and vision• Speech and hearing (language)• Social

Page 32: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

Approach

• Begin by introducing yourself to parents, hand Wash etc. 1st only look see, play…and examine.

• Inform examiner about your approach either:- live commentary or - Summarize after full examination• Generates a pass/fail score in four

development domains

Page 33: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

Inspect

• Look for clues; Look for feeding equipment, nappy bag, the toys they have brought

• Is the child well?• Does the child look dysmorphic?• Are there any obvious neurological

abnormalities?

Page 34: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

Assessment

• Pitch in at around the age you think the child is, i.e. if they look around 18 months do not start asking them to copy circles, etc

• Assess each of the four developmental categories. • Once you have demonstrated they can do one level

push up to the next level until they are not able to perform the task.

• For example: if you have demonstrated the child can copy a square do not ask them to copy a circle, instead see if they can copy a triangle.

Page 35: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

• Keep control of the situation. If the child is playing already, WATCH. You may be able to complete the whole assessment by observation alone

• If the child is already sitting use the opportunity to assess language, social and finemotor development.

• Do not disrupt the child to do gross motor tests . you may well have difficulty settling him again and in the older child gross motor gives you the least additional information. Leave it to the end.

Assessment

Page 36: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

• Use the parents if the child is shy or apprehensive, e.g. ask the parents to draw a circle for the child to copy or test the child about colours, numbers, stories, etc.

• If the child does not co-operate do not panic. You can still get clues from observing.

Assessment

Page 37: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

Presentation• Summarize any relevant clinical findings, e.g. this girl looks ill,

has IV line, etc, which may be affecting your assessment. If the child looks dysmorphic then say so

• This child has a developmental age of X because: Gross motor -I have demonstrated that they can do this but

not that Fine motor -I have demonstrated, etc• 'Demonstrated' is better than 'can' or 'cannot'. It means that

the parents cannot correct you by saying 'yes he can'!• Remember you are only assessing the child over a few

minutes.

Page 38: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

• If you have a developmental discrepancy between the four areas then present this, e.g. this child has a developmental age of 4 in gross- and fine-motor skills but a developmental level of 2 years in speech and language and social skills.

• Follow this by saying what you would like to do next, e.g. I would like to formally test his hearing to exclude a hearing problem.

Presentation

Approach to child with Developmental Delay

Page 40: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

History• A good history is essential to help determine the cause and

appropriate investigations. • Information is required on Perinatal , Birth history, Gestational age,

Post natal; HIE, CP , prematurity.• Family history may give the strongest clue to a chromosomal disorder. • Enquire about previous pregnancy losses. • Presence of medical problems associated with Developmental Delay. • Assess if any medical problems like Neurologic, myopathy, dystrophy , • Genetic, syndromes particularly Fragile X, Prader willi • Metabolic disorder • Endocrine exclude Hypothyroidism

Page 41: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

Examination

• A thorough examination is essential.• Neurodegenerative conditions affecting the

grey matter tend to present with dementia and seizures.

• Conditions affecting the white matter tend to present with spasticity, cortical deafness and blindness.

Page 42: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

Inspect for:

• Sex of child- X-linked conditions such as fragile X, Menkes, Hunter, Lesch-Nyhan syndromes.

• Age of the child: First 6 months - Tay-Sachs disease, Leigh disease,

infantile spasms, tuberose sclerosis Toddlers- infantile metachromatic leukodystrophy,

mucopolysaccharidoses, infantile Gaucher, Krabbe disease

Older children- juvenile Batten disease, SSPE, Wilson disease, Huntington chorea

Page 43: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

• Dysmorphic features - Down syndrome, mucopolysaccharidoses

• Neurocutaneous signs- ataxia telangiectasia, Sturge-Weber syndrome, incontinentia pigmenti, tuberose sclerosis

• Extrapyramidal movements- cerebral palsy, Wilson disease, Huntington chorea

• Tremor- Wilson disease, Friedreich's ataxia, metachromatic leukodystrophy

Inspect for:

Page 44: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

Note growth of child

• Large head -Alexander, Canavan, Tay-Sachs syndromes, mucopolysaccharidoses

• Small head- cerebral palsy, autosomal recessive microcephaly, Rubinstein-Taybi, Smith-Lemli-Opitz, Cornelia de Lange syndromes

• Growth pattern (e.g. faltering growth with metabolic disease, gigantism with Soto syndrome)

Page 45: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

Systematic examination• Eyes - corneal clouding, cataract, cherry-red spot, optic atrophy• Neurological examination including gait, scoliosis, tremor,

extrapyramidal movements, tone, power and reflexes of limbs• Associated system involvement (e.g. cardiac abnormalities,

organomegaly in metabolic disease)• Genitalia• Hearing and vision should be checkedFurther assessment often involves input from other

professionals of the child development team, e.g. speech and language therapists and physiotherapist.

Page 46: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

Investigations

• A thorough history and examination may lead to targeted investigations, e.g. a specific genetic test or metabolic test.

• For approximately 40% of cases no cause is found.

• The two most useful investigations are genetic studies and brain imaging.

Page 47: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

• If no specific diagnosis is suggested then consider:Blood tests• Chromosomal analysis• Thyroid function tests• TORCH serology in infants (TORCH, toxoplasmosis, other

(congenital syphilis and viruses), rubella, cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus)

• Plasma amino acids• Ammonia• Lactate• White cell enzymes

Investigations

Page 48: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

Urine tests• Urinary organic acids• Urinary amino acids• Urinary mucopolysaccharidosesBrain imaging• This will identify congenital brain abnormalities and

diagnose degenerative conditions such as the leukodystrophies and grey matter abnormalities.

EEG• This will identify SSPE, Batten disease

Investigations

Page 49: Developmental milestones for postgraduate students

Management This is multidisciplinary. The precise make-up of the team depends on

local resources. It can include:• Community paediatrician• Speech and language therapist• Physiotherapist• Occupational therapist• Child psychologist/psychiatrist• Play therapist• Pre-school therapist, e.g. portage• Nursery teachers• Health visitors• Social workers
