Which statement made by a parent would be consistent with a developmental delay?
a. "I have noticed that my 9-month-old infant responds consistently to the sound of his name.".
b. "I have noticed that my 12-month-old child does not get herself to a sitting position or pull to stand.".
c. "I am so happy when my 1 1/2-month-old infant smiles at me.".
d. "My 5-month-old infant is not rolling over in both directions yet.".
B
Critical developmental milestones for gross motor development in a 12 month old include standing briefly without support, getting to a sitting position, and pulling to stand. If a 12-month-old child does not perform these activities, it may be indicative of a developmental delay. An infant who responds to his name at 9 months of age is demonstrating abilities to both hear and interpret sound. A social smile is present by 2 months of age. Rolling over in both directions is not a critical milestone for gross motor development until the child reaches 6 months of age.
