ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: 93 million children aged 14 and under around the world have moderate to severe developmental impairments or disabilities. Children with developmental delays and impairments are frequently excluded from policy decisions that could benefit their well-being because they are more likely to be invisible in official statistics. As a result, the quality of the health care they receive may be affected — owing to a lack of capacity, poor service provider training, or a lack of coordination between public authorities and community practitioners. METHODS: Study Type: Conventional study. Study Setting: Children with developmental delay between the age groups 6 months to 2 years are selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria from CDC of Saveetha college of Physiotherapy, Thandalam, Chennai. Sampling technique: Purposive sampling. Sample size: 100 RESULT: Out of the 100 total observations, 25 children had a habit of showing up for therapy. Nearly 32 children had missing or incorrect information. 43 were included in the data set that was used for statistical analysis. There were 31 men and 12 women among the total of 43. Children aged between six months and two reported for rehabilitation at a distance of 1 to 18,00 kilometres. There were 22 families from rural areas and 21 from cities. Most households belonged to the middle class, followed by those from the lower middle class. CONCLUSION: This study found that the grade of hospital care and the distance from the institute had an impact on people's usage of rehabilitation services at tertiary institutions. When providing institutional rehabilitation to children, other aspects It is also necessary to consider factors like socioeconomic level, familial support, and social belief system.
