In some cases, the fine motor delay may be associated with another problem, such as autism or a developmental disability. A child’s doctor will help a parent understand if their child’s fine motor delay is something to worry about. The doctor will ask about your child’s fine motor skills and development at every visit. If there is a concern, the doctor can complete a special autism screening when your child is 18 months old and 24 months old. It is important for children to get all recommended checkups so their doctor can address any problems as soon as possible.
