1 SCREENING FOR ABNORMAL CHILD DEVELOPMENT Low Poh Sim Contents Areas of child development Normal developmental patterns in the first 5 years Who is at risk of abnormal development When to refer for further assessment 1
2 The following four different areas of child development proceed in a normal child in an integrated manner. 1. Gross motor development 2. Vision and fine motor development 3. Hearing and speech 4. Social behaviour and play Gross motor development The ability to move through these developmental steps smoothly depends among other things on the normal muscle tone, strength and coordination. The expected norms of gross motor development are outlined in Table 1. Fine motor development It is important to realise that fine manipulative precision is dependent not only on the development of hand skills but also on normal vision. Reaching for an object, bringing an object to mouth, transfer of the object from hand to hand, development of the pincer grasp occurs in sequence as shown in Table 1. Hearing and Speech Delays in language development are more common than delays in other domains of development. Cognitive deficit is the most common reason for language delay. The development of speech is closely associated with the ability to hear. All children who have delayed language development should undergo hearing testing to rule out hearing loss. The child's behaviour around others is an important observation to make. A child who is hyperactive but not purposeful in what he does has broader functional disturbance of his brain of which lack of language development is just a feature. A child who is behaving as though in a world of his own with lack of ability to relate to others and avoiding eye contact may be autistic. Table 2 is a check-list of language milestones for the first 5 years of life. A clinical approach to a child with delayed speech development is shown on alogarithm 1. Social Behaviour and Play Infants triple their birth weight at about 12 months i.e. they put on an average of g/day from 5-12 months. During the preschool years, children are rapidly developing patterns of social behaviour. Table 3 summarises the early social behaviour of a child. Who is at risk? In general, allowance need to be made for prematurity, social and environmental factors that may result in lack of opportunities in attainment of milestones. 2
3 Those at risk for delay in gross and fine motor skills are children with problems of tone, power, coordination children with joint and ligament abnormalities children with mental retardation children with multiple disabilities children with problems with balance (gross motor skill) children with visual impairment (fine motor skill) Those at risk for delay in language development are children with mental retardation children with cerebral palsy children with deafness children with autism children with multiple disabilities Those at risk for abnormal social development are children with mental retardation children with autism children with hyperactivity When to refer for further assessment 1. Mother's suspicion that her child is not seeing, hearing, moving his limbs or taking notice like other children of his age is to be taken for evaluation very seriously. 2. Gross motor developmental signs a. A child rolling over before 3 months of age may have stiff limbs. b. Poor head control by 5 months. c. Persistent toe walking. 3. Fine motor developmental signs a. Hands that are persistently fisted at 3 months of age b. Fixed hand preference before the age of 18 months may indicate weakness of the less preferred hand. 4. Possible visual impairment a. Visual inattention b. Inability to visually fixate and to follow moving objects 5. Possible deafness a. Unresponsiveness to sound stimuli b. Delayed development of vocalisation or speech c. Absence of babbling at 6 months 3
4 6. Abnormal speech development a. Lack of spoken words by 18 months b. Persistence of echolalia at 2-2½ years 7. Abnormal social development a. Lack of interest in people or playthings b. Gaze avoidance Algorithm 1: Clinical Approach to Delayed Speech Development Delayed Speech Global Developmental Delay Isolated Speech Delay Developmental Speech Delay Exclude Mental retardation Multiple disabilities Cerebral palsy Good speech comprehension with face seen Good expressive pantomime Poor reaction to sounds Poor social interaction with other people Makes noise, echolalic Exclude Deafness ExcludeAutistic Spectrum Disorders 4
