Study Notes
Intended Learning Outcomes
- Examples of pediatric occupational therapy's Frame of Reference can demonstrate developmental theory applications.
- Key stages of physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional development should be understood in human development.
- Biological systems, socio-cultural factors, and physical contexts significantly influence a child's development of play.
Developmental Disabilities
- Important areas of human development must be comprehended for commenting on individuals with developmental disabilities.
- Developmental stages are typically universal, though variations may exist due to cultural contexts.
Developmental Milestones by Age
- 0-3 Months: Raised head, opens and shuts hands, brings hands to mouth.
- 3-6 Months: Rolls both ways, sits with support, begins transferring objects between hands.
- 6-9 Months: Begins crawling, sits independently, and plays with toys.
- 9-12 Months: Pulls self to stand and takes steps while holding onto furniture.
- 12-18 Months: Walks alone, carries toys while walking.
- 18-24 Months: May run and walk up steps with support.
- 24-36 Months: Begins to jump, kick a ball, and climb on furniture.
- 36-48 Months: Walks with ease, throws a ball overhand, and performs hopping.
- 48-60 Months: Stands on one foot for an extended period and may skip.
Motor Development Principles
- Proximal to Distal Principle: Development starts from the trunk (proximal) and moves toward extremities (distal).
- Gross to Fine Motor Skills: Transition from gross motor activities (large movements) to fine motor skills (small, precise actions).
Reflexes and Their Functions
- Parachute Reflex: Emerges around 6-9 months; arms extend as a defensive mechanism to protect when falling.
Cognitive Development Milestones
- 0-5 Months: Follows moving objects, smiles at reflection, reacts to auditory stimulation—key signs of cognitive engagement.
- 6-12 Months: Begins to imitate and respond vocally; starts understanding simple commands.
- 12-36 Months: Expanding vocabulary, counting ability, and participation in pretend play; crucial in cognitive growth.
Gross Motor Skills Development
- 0-3 Months: Basic actions like stretching and opening hands.
- 3-6 Months: Increased movement and control; starting to pivot and sit with support.
- 6-12 Months: Progression to independent sitting, standing, and initial walking.
- 12-60 Months: Rapid development of walking, running, jumping, and climbing; significant motor coordination improvements.
Fine Motor Development Milestones
- Reaching (0-12 Months): Progression from staring at hands to reaching for objects with one hand for stabilization.
- Grasping (4-12 Months): Evolution from ulnar grasp to fine pincer grasp, reflecting increasing dexterity and manipulation skills.
- Release (7 Months): Ability to release objects on surfaces develops with assistance.
Recognizing Early Motor Delays
- Early identification of motor delays is crucial for timely intervention; can be signaled as early as 2 to 6 months.### Eye-Hand Coordination
- Development spans from 0-60 months, indicating progressive skill refinement.
- Key milestones include various release techniques above small and large containers.
- Skills transition from rough releases to accurate control over time.
Bilateral Coordination
- Evolves from basic stabilization (3-5 months) to complex asymmetrical coordination (24-36 months).
- Develops through stages:
- One hand stabilizes while the other manipulates (12-24 months).
- Reciprocal movements emerge, facilitating advanced tasks like wringing a towel.
- Transition from pushing/pulling movements (2-4 months) to coordinated multi-hand activities.
In-Hand Manipulation
- Key skills develop between ages 2-4:
- Translation between finger and palm.
- Shifting and rotation of objects for better control.
- Fine motor skills are essential for daily tasks and activities.
Sensory Development
- Influences include visual, auditory, olfactory, taste, proprioception, and vestibular senses.
- Critical periods for sensory development lead to neuroplasticity.
- Sensory experiences shape body scheme and control as children engage with their environment.
Cognitive Development
- Milestones observed include:
- Recognition and reproduction of shapes, letters, and numbers (around age 60 months).
- Ability to distinguish between real events and make-believe.
Social-Emotional Development
- Initial communication relies on crying and social smiles (0-3 months).
- Progresses to expression of emotions like pleasure and fear (4-8 months).
- By 18 months, children develop a sense of self and begin to assert independence.
Developmental Milestones Overview
- Newborn: Establishes bonding and self-regulation.
- 2 Months: Forms attachment through social smiles.
- 4 Months: Engages in turn-taking during interactions.
- 6-12 Months: Expresses a spectrum of emotions and begins exploring independently.
- 2-5 Years: Skills evolve from testing limits and tantrums (2 years) to cooperative play and rule-following games by age 5.
Practical Implications
- Understanding these stages is vital for tracking child development and identifying potential delays.
- Awareness of sensory integration importance aids in guiding effective parenting and educational strategies.
