To be honest if you are concerned about your dd's development, then please speak to your HV or GP and ask for a referral to the paediatrician.. an online screening that simply asks questions and doesn't actually examine your child ISN'T reliable... and might in fact be leading you down a path of worry that isn't warranted..or alternately might miss something that is important!

I can't see how an online 'test' can determine whether your daughter has a physical developmental delay, or maybe a muscle tone problem, or something completely different, so please, forget paying online and see a doctor if you are worried!

Tell the GP you want a referral to a developmental paediatrician.
