, Description:FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] Embodiments of a present disclosure relate to developmental delay, and more particularly to a system and a method for assessment of developmental delays in a child.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Developmental delay is a condition of a child being less developed mentally or physically than is normal for its age. Developmental delays are a huge burden on society's resources and set up a vicious poverty cycle, especially in a resource-poor country. The developmental delays may occur in the areas of motor function, speech and language, cognitive, play, social skills and the like. With the standard of health care improvement and increased survival of the child with a developmental risk, there is a need to identify developmental delays early and to start their intervention on time. Various systems are available for assessing developmental delays in the child.
[0003] Conventionally, the system which is available for assessing the developmental delays in the child, responds to local cultural differences in the child rearing practices and also well-performing in its psychometric properties so that it will identify the child requiring intervention. However, such system caters till about 2.5 years only. Due to the dearth of indigenous systems, one or more western tools are being used in the non-western set up to measure the outcomes. However, such tools are not culturally appropriate and will not give the precise picture.
[0004] Further, in comparison to conventional approach, a newer approach develops a monitoring tool (catering to age group 0- 42 months of age) rather than an evaluative tool. However, in developing countries, the average age of diagnosis of the child with language delays, intellectual disabilities and behavioural developmental problems such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is around 3 yrs. To use such system repeatedly to evaluate changes over time, the proposed early intervention becomes a practical problem as they cater only for about 3 years to about 3.5 years of age. Moreover, direct testing in an unfamiliar environment by an unknown adult may restrict a child’s engagement and participation in the assessment. It becomes even more difficult to do assessments for the child with global developmental delays or behavioural developmental disorders with formal assessment procedures.
[0005] Hence, there is a need for an improved system and a method for assessing developmental delays in a child in order to address the aforementioned issues.

[0019] FIG. 1 is a block diagram representation of a system (10) for assessment of developmental delays in a child in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The system (10) includes one or more processors (20). In one embodiment, the system (10) may include an input receiving subsystem operable by the one or more processors (20). The input receiving subsystem receives one or more inputs associated with the child from one or more user entities. In one embodiment, the one or more user entities may include parents of the child and a therapist. In one embodiment, the input receiving subsystem receives feedback of the parents about skills of the child. In another embodiment, the input receiving subsystem receives skill test results from the therapist, wherein the skill test may be directly performed by the therapist on the child or the therspist may observe the skills of the child from behaviour of the child.
[0020] Further, the system (10) also includes an assessment subsystem (30) operable by the one or more processors (20). The assessment subsystem (30) assesses functioning level of the child in one or more domains upon receiving the one or more inputs. In one embodiment, the one or more domains may include, but not limited to, a receptive language, an expressive language, one or more social skills, one or more imitation skills, one or more play and self engaging skills, one or more cognitive skills, one or more fine motor skills, one or more self help skills and the like.

In such embodiment, the one or more techniques may be based on naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention. As used herein, the term “naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention (NDBI)” refers to interventions which are implemented in natural settings, involve shared control between child and practitioner, make use of natural oportunities for learning, and use a variety of behavioural strategies to teach developmentally appropriate skills.
[0028] Furthermore, in one specific embodiment, the system (10) may include a tracking subsystem operable by the one or more processors (20). The tracking subsystem tracks compliance of the parents on a generated intervention plan and progress in the development of the child. In some embodiment, the system (10) may include a progress representation subsystem operable by the one or more processors (20). The progress representation subsystem graphically illustrates the progress in the development of the child upon initiation of the intervention plan. Further, the intervention plan generation subsystem (60) may alter the intervention plan based on an improvement in the development of the child.
[0029] FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the system (80) for assessment of developmental delays in a child of FIG. 1 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. Initially, a functioning level of a child ‘X’ is assessed in one or more domains, by an assessment subsystem (120), by receiving one or more inputs, by input receiving subsystem (110), from different parties such as, but not limited to, parents (90),and a therapist (80). The one or more inputs includes feedback of the parents (90) about skills of the child ‘X’, age of the child ‘X’, name of the child and the like.
[0030] Now, for example, the functioning level of the child ‘X’ in a receptive language results in advanced level 1, the functioning level of the child ‘X’ in an expressive language results in advanced level 1, the functioning level of the child ‘X’ in play and self engaging skills result in early level 2 and the like.
[0031] Further, upon assessing the functioning level of the child ‘X’ in each of the one or more domains, a functioning age of the child ‘X’ corresponding to the functioning level in each of the one or more domains is determined, by a functioning age calculation subsystem (130). For example, the functioning age of the child ‘X’ corresponding to the receptive language obtains results in a range of about 16.1 months to about 18 months. Similarly, the functioning age of the child ‘X’ corresponding to the expressive language obtains results in a range of about 14.1 months to about 16 months.
[0032] Upon determining the functioning age of the child ‘X’ in each of the one or more domains, a score corresponding to each of the one or more domains is generated by a score generation subsystem (140). Further, based on the generated score, each skill is represented as one of a mastered, an emerging or not achieved. Furthermore, the score report is generated in a tabular form by a report generation subsystem (150). Also, the score report is also represented visually.
[0033] Based on the functioning level of the child ‘X’ , an intervention plan will be generated, by an intervention plan generation subsystem (160), to facilitate the child’s overall development, wherein the intervention program consists of developmentally sequenced parent delivered activities for the child. Furthermore, videos are provided to help therapists and parents to understand what techniques and strategies to use while doing the activities by a guidance subsystem (170). Accordingly, the system (80) is highly beneficial to one or more families in one or more regions where there is a lack of trained professionals for early identification of child with the developmental delay.
[0034] Furthermore, the assessment subsystem (120), the functioning age calculation subsystem (130), the score generation subsystem (140), the intervention plan generation subsystem (160) and the guidance subsystem (170) are substantially similar to an assessment subsystem (30), a functioning age calculation subsystem (40), a score generation subsystem (50), an intervention plan generation subsystem (60) and a guidance subsystem (70) of FIG. 1.
