The COVID-19 pandemic has been a bane to the paediatric population in affecting their social, physical, emotional and behavioural state of mind. Children from all the age groups were affected with different kinds of developmental delays such as speech and language delays, feeding issues, cognitive impairments, regression of physical skills, emotional disturbances and difficulty in learning. We have observed various developmental concerns in paediatric populations due to financial difficulties, increased screen time, lack of physical activities, stress and anxiety among parents and children. The following study focused on the short case descriptions having the impact of COVID- 19 on various contexts in paediatric population. A multidisciplinary approach was delivered with a team consisting of a Physiotherapist, Occupational therapist, Speech and Language pathologist and Psychologist, which helped these children.
