What is delayed motor development and can it be cured?

Improved: Delayed motor or other skills are probably badly named since they sound like a flight schedule. Its really complex since delays can be treated with therapies and improve or come close to normal only to cause problems again when there are increased demands at another age. Of course knowing what is causing the delay has a lot to do with prognosis.

There is a range of : ages during which typically-developing infants achieve specific developmental skills. An infant who does not attain those skills by the age at which 90% of infants demonstrate them has a Fine Motor delay if muscles of the upper trunk, arms & hands are involved & a Gross Motor delay if muscles of the pelvis, legs & feet are involved. Early Intervention Occupational & Physical Therapy can help.
