Abstract

Throughout infancy, toddlerhood, childhood, and adolescence, normally developing youth negotiate certain tasks or milestones that occur at specific time points. Children tend to acquire these skills in an orderly fashion and within certain age brackets. These patters of skill acquisition are often referred to as normal development, which are discussed thoroughly in this chapter. Gross motor development, fine motor/visual motor development, grasp, feeding development, and personal care development are the topics which are covered in this chapter.
