Medical Disclaimer

Everything on this website — including the milestone guide, condition descriptions and FAQs — is general information for parents, not medical advice. It can't replace an assessment of your individual child by a qualified professional.

Developmental milestone windows are broad, and healthy children vary widely. The "worth a check" signs we list are gentle prompts to seek an assessment — not diagnoses, and not reasons to panic.

Physiotherapy works alongside — never instead of — your child's medical care. Always follow your paediatrician's advice, and continue prescribed treatment unless your doctor says otherwise.

If your child has an emergency — difficulty breathing, a serious injury, sudden weakness, seizures or loss of consciousness — go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call emergency services immediately. Do not wait for a physiotherapy appointment.
