developmental 'red flag'

Pediatrics An objective finding that indicates a delay in achieving developmental milestones; DRFs in assessing infants, toddlers, and preschoolers fall into 5 major areas:

Developmental red flag

Gross motor skills, eg does not roll over–5 months, can't hop–4 years

Fine motor skills, eg doesn't hold rattle–4-5 months, can't copy a circle–4 years

Language skills, eg not babbling–5-6 months, doesn't understand prepositions–4 years

Cognitive skills, eg does not search for dropped object–6-7 months, doesn't know colors or any letters–5 years
