As early as possible. Early identification — even from 12–18 months — allows for early intervention, which significantly improves outcomes for conditions like autism and speech delay.

A structured evaluation of your child's developmental milestones across motor, speech, cognitive, social, and behavioural areas — conducted through observation, standardised assessments, and parent interview.

A diagnosis is a starting point, not a life sentence. It helps access the right therapies, school support, and services. Many children with early intervention make remarkable progress.

Early intervention refers to therapeutic support provided to young children with developmental delays or disabilities — including speech therapy, occupational therapy, behaviour therapy, and special educational support — ideally before school age.
