Developmental Tests Applied to Children
Child Development Tests are tools used to assess children's motor, language, cognitive, and social skills, and they cater to various age ranges. These tests are utilized to monitor developmental progress, identify potential delays, and determine appropriate interventions. At Liv Hospital's Pediatric Health Clinic, a range of tests is conducted to track the healthy development of infants and children. Through assessment tests, any developmental delays in children are detected early, which is extremely valuable as it indicates the need for early treatment.
