Abstract:
:This study aimed to identify the age at first concern and age at referral for rehabilitation services in children with developmental disabilities in India. Two hundred fifty-nine children were included and data were collected from the parents. In children with developmental disabilities (excluding autism spectrum disorders), median age at initial concern was 7 months and age at referral for rehabilitation services was 13 months. In children with autism spectrum disorders, median age at initial concern was 24 months and age at referral was 42 months. Physician's recognition of the condition, single child, institutional delivery and neonatal admission ≥4 days were associated with early referral. The common reasons cited by the parents for delay in services were reassurance by physicians or family members and nonreferral by the physicians. Thus, routine screening for developmental problems (including autism) and improving the awareness of these conditions among physicians and society would lead to early referral.
