Early intervention During the first years of life typically developing children achieve the gross motor milestones of maintaining a prone, sitting and standing position and the ability to move by hands and knees crawling and walking. Children, who is delayed in reaching these milestones, assistive devices can be used to compensate and to allow the child to challenge and develop within other areas of child development such as cognitive, social, emotional, speech and language, fine and gross motor skill development. In the infographics you can see when the motor milestones is achieved in typically developing children. “On-time” interventions using assistive devices means allowing all children to attain the timely positions or move as typically developing children. For children with disability “on-time” might be early compared to current practice. Learn more about how you can support your child’s development below.
