Body mass index for age (BMI for age) will be calculated in kg/m\^2 and plotted on the Egyptian growth charts of girls and boys for different ages from birth to five years old in order to assess their growth.
To assess development of children with IEM in Assiut governorate using the arabic version of the third edition of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires.
The Arabic version of the third edition of the Ages \& Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3) will be used to identify developmental growth in children from one month to five and a half years . it measures development in 5 key domains: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal-social domain. Each response on the questionnaire will be converted to a numerical value (usually equal to 10, occasionally to 5, and not yet to 0) in order to determine the score, then each domain's overall score will be summed. ASQ-3 has three scoring zones and the higher the score the better the child development for each developmental area separately.
