What are the neurological developmental stages?
The neurological developmental stages are

- Concrete operational Stage-Age seven to age eleven
- Formal operational Stage-Age eleven continues in adulthood
The severity of the delay is different for every child. The delay may also vary from single to multiple for children. The developmental neurology delay in children can be seen with delays in activities like dressing issues, walking, communication, and challenges in playing. The disabilities in developmental neurology are as follows

What to expect during child’s appointment?
At the time of the appointment, you and your child must meet and discuss your doubts or concerns to determine the appropriate diagnosis, treatment and intervention for your kid.
The length of your kid’s appointment might change on their specific developmental concerns and health needs. When you have scheduled your kid’s appointment, you will be advised how long it may take to visit.
Our Unique approach
Having a child who is diagnosed to have a neurological condition can be emotional and overwhelming experience. Our first concern is supporting you and your family. Whether assessing a baby for a motor delay or treating a teen with autism, we make it our mission to give the best care — and best experience — for each child.
Dr. N. Varsha Monica Reddy and her team gives thorough neurodevelopmental assessments to infants, babies, young kids and adolescents. Contingent upon the age of your child and reason for the reference, your kid might be seen by at least 1 or more members of our team that includes child neurologist, developmental behavioural pediatrician or psychologist. Our assessments are tailored to meet the individual needs of your kid and family. All kids get clinical assessments by a pediatric neurology specialist or developmental pediatrician and, if appropriate, specific psychological and developmental testing.
Early diagnosis and treatment give a child the benefit of reaching their full potential. Along with treatment parental support and behaviour also plays an important role in a child’s treatment.
