Advanced play environment for screening and early diagnosis of infant developmental delays and neurological impairments

A play environment for evaluating neurological development and diagnosing a developmental disorder in a child comprising:

• a. a mat;
• b. one or more toys comprising an IMU sensor and a pressure sensor, wherein the one or more toys are placed in proximity to the child;
• and
• c. an imaging sensor configured for tracking the child while interacting with the one or more toys;
• wherein the IMU sensor, the pressure sensor, and the imaging sensor, are each communicatively coupled to a central processor, and configured to collect and send at least one type of movement data and cognitive data to the central processor, wherein said movement data comprises physical interactions including kinematic and haptic interactions, or said cognitive data comprises a variable selected from the group consisting of frequency of toy stimulus event, frequency of toy feedback event, response times, frequency of touch response, and frequency of look response, and wherein said movement and cognitive data is compared with a past dataset to identify warning signs of a developmental disorder.
