At Wiggle & Go Physio, I offer gross motor milestone assessments for all ages. If you have concerns regarding your child's' gross motor skills please contact us. Early intervention is crucial to reduce need for ongoing support.

As a mother myself, I understands how confusing contradicting milestone information can be. Every child moves at their own pace, but it is strongly recommended to seek support if your child:

• Has poor head control at 6 months
• Is not rolling both directions by 9 months
• Is not sitting by themselves by 9 months
• Is not standing without holding anything by 12 months
• Is not attempting to take steps by 15 months
• Is not walking by 18 months

If your child was born prematurely, please base milestones on their corrected age (as if they were born full term).

Milestones for older children:

• Stairs (up and down holding on) by 2 years
• Running and jumping by 3 years
• Catching, throwing & kicking a ball by 4 years
• Stand on one leg for 5 seconds by 5 years
