Study Notes

Developmental Milestones (Childhood)

Attention: Infants (2-3 minutes per year of age) progress from fleeting attention (0-1 year), to rigid attention (1-2 years), to focused attention (2.5-3 years) and two-channeled attention (3-4 years), ultimately achieving sustained integrated attention by 5 years. Speech develops correspondingly from babble to joining 2-3 words to sentences.
Language: Speech and language milestones include babbling (6 months), joining two/three words (12-24 months) and using sentences (2.5-3 years). Fluent speech generally develops by 6 years of age.
Play: Play progresses through various stages, including peek-a-boo (10-18 months), symbolic play (18-24 months), and eventually cooperative play (4-6 years).
Motor Skills: Motor development includes walking steadily (15 months), running and jumping (2.5 years), and eventually dressing/undressing independently (3-4 years), along with skills like hopping (age 5-6) and using scissors (ages 4-6).
Bladder/Bowel: Toilet training milestones are outlined by age: counting from 1-10 (ages 2-3), 1-30 (ages 3-4), counting back from 5 or 10 (4-5 years), drawing a person showing 6 body parts (age 5).
Education: Skills such as reading, writing, addition, and subtraction develop throughout childhood, with milestones including counting to 10, 30, and back from 5/10 according to age.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Diagnostic Criteria: Persistent deficits in initiating and maintaining social communication, restricted, repetitive, and inflexible patterns of behavior, activities, and interests that are not typical for the child's age or socio-cultural context.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Diagnostic Criteria: A persistent pattern (lasting more than 6 months) of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity, significantly impacting academic, occupational, or social functioning.

Stimulant Medications for ADHD

Stimulant Medications: Methylphenidate (including long-acting forms), Lisdexamfetamine are common stimulant medications used for ADHD.
Non-Stimulant Medications: Nonstimulants such as atomoxetine and guanfacine are also used for ADHD.
