How Can Developmental Delays Be Prevented?

Prevention of developmental delays involves minimizing exposure to harmful substances. Pregnant women should be advised to avoid alcohol, tobacco, and certain fish high in mercury. Public health initiatives aimed at reducing environmental pollutants, such as banning leaded gasoline and restricting industrial emissions, are essential. Regular screening for lead levels in homes and blood tests for children can help detect and mitigate exposure early.
