You would need to take them to a neurologist for an assessment.
For concerns regarding children and their development, I would recommend seeing a developmental pediatrician.
They must be examined by a neurologist who will determine if there are neurological deficits or just delayed neurological issues or if the child is at a young age, maybe there are no deficits at all. Make an appointment as soon as possible to relieve your fears and get real answers. Good luck and best wishes, Darrell Lauer, m.s, CCC/SLP
Hi,

There are specific symptoms to look out for; however, these vary in severity and by person. If you have concerns, I would contact your child’s primary care physician.
