I have a concern

Something's not right

For parents who are worried about their child's development and do not yet have a diagnosis.

Something's not right

First of all: parents are always right!

If you have the impression that your child is not developing as expected for their age, but your paediatrician still says when asked a second time that there is nothing unusual and your child is within the normal range of development, and you still have a strange feeling, then insist on a second opinion or consult a neuropaediatric practice, because “they won't grow out of it!”

Every month counts

The earlier you can start therapy, the better the chances! The neuroplasticity – and thus the ability of a child's brain to reorganise – is greatest in the first two years of life. What could be worse than a false alarm?
