Delays in childhood development, cause for concern: Saloni Mehta

As families become smaller and parents busier, keeping track of your child's progress becomes increasingly difficult. And yet, it is now more important than ever.

More and more children are getting diagnosed with delays across speech, language, social, and motor skills, and this has been made worse by reduced social contact during the pandemic.

A developmental delay may be caused by a variety of factors, including heredity, nutrition, medical conditions, and complications during pregnancy. The cause isn't always known.

When concerned, it is important to act as soon as possible. Early intervention with developmental therapies is the best way to manage your child's progress and development into adulthood.

Tactopus is an online platform to connect parents of children with developmental delays, disorders, or disabilities with pediatric therapists to bridge gaps. Since the intervention is completely online, you can connect with the best specialists from across the country, take sessions in the language of your choice, and at the comfort and privacy of your home.

Saloni Mehta, Founder & CEO of, Tactopus said, "We have brought together Specialists with domain expertise and our skillset as a technology-creator to ensure that this expertise can be taken online, into the children's homes. We also curate personalized learning resources in the form of digital content, activities, etc. Every child, even if with the same diagnosis, has different requirements based on their developmental gaps and preferred modes of learning. In order to cater to them, personalization based on their individual needs is important.
