Is your child is having trouble rolling? You’ve landing on the right page, and we are here to help!
Children of all ages may demonstrate motor abilities at a lower age equivalency. Pinpointing these delays is the first step in the therapeutic journey of bringing your child back on track with their peer.
Remember that skill development is a continuum and not all children develop at the same pace. Always trust your gut as a parent and check in with your pediatrician any time you are concerned about your child’s development. As a general guideline, if your baby is showing no interest in rolling at 6 months or older, it may be time to check in with your pediatrician or local pediatric physical therapist. Here in the state of California, and in many other states across the country, thanks to Direct Access legislation, you can bring your child in for a physical therapy evaluation without prior referral from a doctor. While you will eventually need to check in with your pediatrician, you can get a jump start on physical therapy, developing a home program, and working toward progressing your child’s gross motor skills.
