Integrated 5-Week Infant Development Protocol

A five-week program for infants under 18 months, combining developmental assessment and home guidance to review progress.

When to seek a consultation

  • My baby was born premature — I worry about falling behind peers.For premature infants, we review birth timing and the due date and consider corrected age in assessment.
  • Rolling, crawling and sitting seem later than other babies.We pinpoint where gross-motor development is starting and set the direction your child needs now.
  • My baby only rolls or crawls to one side.We check early so asymmetric movement doesn't set in as a habit, and guide correction.
  • At a check-up we were told to 'wait and watch a bit more.'We review screening findings and current development to discuss further assessment or observation.
  • Without any clear reason, my child just seems different.Describe what you have observed. Assessments are selected for your child’s age and development.
