The General Movements Assessment is a non-invasive and cost-effective way to identify cerebral palsy and other developmental disabilities.
The assessment can be conducted from birth to 3 months of age.
The assessment tool was developed by Professor Heinz Prechtl, a Developmental Neurologist, from Graz in Austria.
Should my child have the assessment?
If your child is under 18 weeks post term age and there were medical concerns at birth, the General Movements Assessment may give extra information of how the baby’s neurological system is developing.
The assessment is NOT used as a screening tool for healthy babies.
Please speak to us if you have any concerns about your baby.
We are certified in General Movement Assessment.
