Child Development
Child Development
We know that every child is going to grow and develop differently. They are all unique individuals affected by genetics, environment, opportunities and their own unique personalities. There are commonalities however, in how most children reach foundational developmental milestones. This training section will take a look at some typical development expectations and when development may be atypical and require further intervention.
A great resource to begin with is the playlist linked here. This reviews milestones for each age range in each developmental domain!
Typical Child Development
Typical Child Development
When we are assessing how a child is learning, growing and developing we're looking at a few key areas-Communication, Social-Emotional, Cognitive and Motor.
Knowing what is expected or "typical" for each developmental age and stage help us to identify when children are on target and when they may be a little off track.
This is a collection of short videos that demonstrate developmental milestones by category.
This is a collection of developmental milestones by age and developmental domain. You can scroll through each section to view what is expected at each stage of development.

Atypical Child Development
Atypical Child Development
Atypical development means simply development that is different than expected. As mentioned before every child develops a little differently based on their own unique experience, genetics and abilities. When a child is developing in a consistent way that is different from expectations, this may be a good time to consider additional intervention.
