Delayed milestone

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

The term Delayed milestone (or “developmental delays”) is used to describe the condition where a child does not reach one of these stages at the expected age. However, in most cases, a wide variety of ages can be considered normal, and not a cause for medical concern.

Milestones are often measured using percentiles, and for many milestones a value between the 5^th and 95^th percentile does not require intervention, though values towards the edges of that range can be associated with other medical conditions.
