Developmental Quotient (DQ) For Indian Infants- Assessment and Early Intervention

By assessing the Developmental Quotient of the baby we understand the various aspect of the Motor and Mental development happening in the baby. We get the set of records of the Motor and Mental Developmental Quotients of the baby. When as parents you go through some intervention program (e.g.: ISP) for your baby the Developmental Assessment Scale for Indian Infants brings forth the efficacy of the program by assessing the DQ of the baby. It also helps to understand and identify the delayed milestones occurring in the child. Thus the physician and the psychologist can plan out an effective intervention program for the baby to treat the cause accordingly. Age Group: The test can be performed on the babies from birth till 30 months. Abilities Evaluated: Body Control, Locomotion, Manipulation, Cognition, Memory, Social interaction, language Development & Manual Dexterity, Application: Assessment of Mental & Motor Development. Diagnosis & location of Delayed Development, Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Intervention program.
