      Developmental Therapy

      A child learns through play, through interacting with other people and his environment. Many factors during a child’s development – before or after birth can affect normal trajectory of development (or the way a child develops).

      Developmental Therapy

      The first three years of life are the foundations for the child’s overall development. During this period brain develops rapidly. Early support, stimulation and a nurturing environment in these years play a major role in shaping the future learning, behaviour and social skills making this stage the most important window for healthy development. Early identification and intervention are essential because the brain is highly adaptable in the first 3 years. Timely support can reduce the impact of delays, improve overall development and give the child a better foundation for learning and life skills.

      Development therapy helps us understand how your child is growing in all areas – thinking, talking, moving, playing and daily activities.

      A developmental therapist looks at your child’s milestones, identifies where they may need extra support, and teaches you ways to help them at home. Depending on child’s condition, they also refer the child to other services like physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and psychotherapy or ABA therapy so your child gets complete and timely support.

      The goal of development therapy is to identify early signs of development delay, strengthen important skills and guide parents with practical strategies to help their child to learn and progress.

      At the development therapy department, the therapists assess a child’s development from birth to 6 years across all areas of development using standardized tools. We create individualised therapy plans and guide parents and caregivers with easy home based activities.

      STIMULATION PROGRAMME

      Advanced perinatal and neonatal care have improved the chances of survival of new-borns who would otherwise have succumbed. Unfortunately, many of these Neonatal intensive care survivors are identified with Neurodevelopmental problems later on. Through early stimulation programme, we train parents/ caretakers home based stimulations for these babies to achieve their developmental milestones to reach each child’s individual potential.

      INTERVENTION FOR CHILDREN BELOW 3 YEARS

      Any child below 3 years of age presenting with any kind of delays in their development, we start to intervene them early to achieve better outcome. We teach the care takers more on therapeutic activities to do at home on specific delayed domain. Delay may occur in different developmental domains like motor domain, speech domains, behavioural issues, personal social interactions etc.

      DEVELOPMENTAL FOLLOW UP

      At NIPMR, we do regular follow up for at risk babies and also those babies who undergoing regular interventions at our centres, to monitor their development using different standardized developmental scales/ tools and give diagnosis. This will help the parents/caretakers & also therapists to know more about child’s strength & weakness which in turns help them to better focus on therapies.

      GROUP THERAPY

      It helps to improve the child’s interaction in group or society. Different departments like developmental therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, behavioural therapy, physiotherapy, social workers, special educators etc. all work with small groups of children to achieve their social goals.

      PRE ACADEMICS

      We also giving training on children between 3 to 6 years to improve their pre academic skills. This will help them attain school readiness and also to adapt better in educational skills.

      AWARENESS CLASSESS

      We conduct awareness sessions for Anganwadi workers and ASHA workers to help them recognize early signs of developmental delay in children and understand the importance of timely intervention. Through these programs, we aim to empower the community with accurate knowledge on child development and promote early action to reduce future disabilities.
