Developmental delay assessment in Lucknow
When a child reaches milestones later than expected — and how early support helps.
We have 3 centres in Lucknow, led by Dr Rahul Bharat, Dr T R Yadav and Dr Sabi Qazi. Each assesses children for developmental delay alongside the rest of their development — because the question is rarely only about one thing.
“Developmental delay” means a child is reaching some milestones — in movement, speech, thinking, play or social skills — later than most children of the same age. It can affect one area or several, and it ranges from mild and short-lived to more significant.
Where you would be seen in Lucknow
What parents often notice
- •Sitting, crawling, standing or walking later than expected
- •Few or no words, or slow growth in understanding and talking
- •Difficulty with everyday skills like feeding, dressing or play
- •Not responding to their name or showing less interest in others
- •Frustration, or seeming to work harder than peers to keep up
Every child is different, and noticing one or two of these doesn’t mean your child has developmental delay. If you’re unsure, an assessment brings clarity.

Coming to us in Lucknow
Who would see my child in Lucknow?
We have 3 centres in Lucknow, led by Dr Rahul Bharat, Dr T R Yadav and Dr Sabi Qazi. Assessment is multidisciplinary, so you may also meet a psychologist, a speech and language therapist or a play specialist from the same team.
Which Lucknow centre should we come to?
Whichever is easiest to reach — the assessment and the team's approach are the same at each, and your child's records move with them if you change centre. The addresses are listed above.
We live outside Lucknow. Is it worth travelling?
Many families travel in from across Uttar Pradesh. The first appointment is the long one; after that, much of the follow-up happens through the family app and, where it suits you, by video — so the travel is usually front-loaded rather than repeated every week.
Do we need a referral for developmental delay assessment?
No. Parents can book directly. If your child has already been seen elsewhere, bring any reports with you — they save repeating work.
