    Developmental Delay Pathway

    Uploaded by

    This pathway outlines the process for assessing and supporting children under 5 who show signs of developmental delay. It involves: 1) Initial concerns raised by health visitors, early years practitioners, or other professionals which prompt information gathering and screening. 2) If delays are identified, further assessments are made which may include input from multiple professionals like pediatricians, therapists, and educators. 3) An individualized family support plan is created through a family planning meeting to provide early intervention, additional therapies, and connect families to local support services and children's centers. The goal is assessment, diagnosis, support, and monitoring of the child's progress.
