Developmental delays
Not meeting movement milestones for sitting, crawling, standing, or walking.

When a child's development needs support, the right help at the right age changes everything.
Cerebron's paediatric rehabilitation supports children with developmental delays, movement challenges, and related conditions, expert, play-based therapy led personally by Dr. Shikha, an MPT in Neurological Sciences.
Understanding the condition
Why early support matters so much for children.
Children develop movement and motor skills along a broadly predictable path, rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, walking, and on to finer and more complex skills. When a child does not follow that path as expected, it can signal a developmental or movement condition that benefits from professional support.
These conditions are wide-ranging. Some children have a specific diagnosis such as cerebral palsy or a neuromuscular condition. Others have developmental delays, coordination difficulties, or movement challenges without a single clear label.
This is why 'wait and see' is not always the right advice. An assessment costs nothing in certainty and can gain a great deal. Cerebron's role is to evaluate honestly, support development expertly, and give every child the strongest possible foundation.
Signs & symptoms we address
The paediatric needs we support.
Every child is assessed individually. These are the areas we most commonly help with.
02
Cerebral palsy
Movement, posture, and functional support across all types of CP.
03
Coordination difficulties
Dyspraxia and motor-planning challenges affecting everyday movement.
04
Neuromuscular conditions
Muscular dystrophy and related conditions affecting childhood movement.
05
Post-injury recovery
Rehabilitation after paediatric fractures, surgery, or accidents.
06
Early infant concerns
Torticollis and early movement or posture concerns, ideally caught early.
Care is coordinated with paediatricians, neurologists, and other specialists where needed, so therapy stays integrated across the team.
How Cerebron treats it
Our approach to paediatric rehabilitation.
A child is not a small adult. Their therapy cannot be a smaller version of adult care.
- 01
Individual developmental assessment
Dr. Shikha evaluates the child's movement, motor skills, and developmental stage, building a plan around that specific child, not a diagnosis label.
- 02
Therapy that looks like play
Every session is designed around play, but each activity targets a specific motor skill or developmental goal. The child plays; we measure the therapy.
- 03
Honest about what is possible
We tell families clearly what therapy can substantially improve and what it can optimise, without false hope, and without dismissing real potential.
- 04
Parents as part of the team
Children spend most of their time with family. We train parents thoroughly, so progress continues every day between sessions.
Technology used in recovery
The technology behind paediatric care.
Used selectively and age-appropriately, technology can make children's therapy more effective and more engaging:
01 · Engagement
02 · Balance
03 · Hand functionWhat to expect
Your child's care journey.
From paced first visit to long-term review, every stage is family-inclusive.
Step 01
First Visit
A 75–90 minute assessment with Dr. Shikha. Developmental and motor evaluation, with realistic, age-appropriate goals set with the family.
Step 02
A Typical Session
30–45 minutes, child-paced. Play-based, goal-focused therapy, always supervised, with a parent welcome in the room.
Step 03
Typical Timeline
Initial gains are often visible within 6–8 weeks. Longer programmes are reassessed every 12 weeks as the child develops.
Step 04
Progress Reviews
A formal review every four weeks with Dr. Shikha, parents present, progress documented, and goals updated as the child grows.
FAQ
The questions parents ask most.
If yours isn't here, send a message, Dr. Shikha's team replies personally, usually within one working day.
'Wait and see' is right for some milestones and wrong for others. If you have noticed something consistent, your child is not sitting, crawling, walking, or using both hands like other children their age, an assessment loses nothing and may catch something early. Early intervention almost always outperforms a delayed start.
No. A young child's nervous system is highly adaptable, and early therapy supports development at the stage it matters most. We assess and work with children from a very young age, including infants.
No. You do not need a diagnosis to book an assessment, that is part of what the assessment is for. Dr. Shikha will evaluate your child, explain what she sees in plain language, and advise honestly on what would help.
Children's sessions are designed around play, which keeps them engaged where repetitive exercises would not. Most children respond well. If a child does not engage at first, we redesign the approach, that is our responsibility, not yours.
We coordinate with paediatric neurologists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and special educators where relevant, so your child's overall care is properly integrated, not fragmented.
Recovery is hard. Regret is harder.
Your child's window is now.
The earlier the start, the bigger the difference. That is the part most families wish they had known sooner. Book an assessment with Dr. Shikha, she will evaluate your child personally, explain what she sees, and build a plan with your family.
