The Development Enhancement Program at Pedi Gym, led by Dr. Nitin, is designed to support children facing developmental delays by focusing on their physical, cognitive, and emotional growth. Through specialized therapies and activities, the program helps improve motor skills, communication, social interactions, and independence. With personalized plans developed by Dr. Nitin and a team of expert therapists, Pedi Gym ensures that each child meets critical developmental milestones and flourishes in their everyday life. Developmental delays can be caused by genetic conditions, premature birth, or complications during pregnancy.

Causes of Developmental Delays :
Developmental delays can result from a variety of factors, including genetic disorders like Down syndrome, premature birth, or low birth weight. Complications during pregnancy or birth, such as oxygen deprivation, can also contribute, as well as neurological conditions like cerebral palsy. Environmental influences, such as exposure to toxins or poor nutrition, play a role, along with infections during pregnancy, like rubella or the Zika virus. Addressing these factors early on can help mitigate the impact on a child’s development.
At PediGym, Dr. Nitin and his team focus on preventing developmental delays through proactive measures. They emphasize the importance of prenatal care, regular health check-ups, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy with proper nutrition and avoiding harmful substances. Early screening and intervention for potential genetic or neurological concerns are also prioritized. Additionally, creating a stimulating environment with age-appropriate activities and social interactions plays a key role in development. Keeping up with vaccination schedules helps protect against infections that could contribute to developmental challenges. In the Development Enhanced Program at PediGym, excessive screen time is identified as a major factor contributing to developmental delays. Limiting screen time and encouraging interactive, hands-on activities is crucial for fostering healthy cognitive and social development in children.
