As They Grow: Motor Development from Birth to Six 2nd ed.
By Jennifer Jones, Ph.D.
Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson calls the first edition of this book "Terrific!" Well, the 2nd edition is even better.
Gain a complete understanding of the whole child simultaneously with gross motor, fine motor and Oral-Motor (fine, fine motor) skill development. A handy chart (included) shows you developmental stages in all 3 categories. This book will allow you to better communicate with OTs and PTs on a professional level for referral and developmental norms. "As They Grow" combines several models to create a framework for viewing motor development, and includes a review of the infant's subcortically controlled reflexive behaviors and goal-directed movements through early childhood with an emphasis on stability, locomotion and manipulation. Oral-Motor development and somatic motor development parallels are also demonstrated. The second edition has valuable information regarding feeding and several case presentations to provide examples.
This truly unique book will be a valuable addition to your professional library.
