Introduction

Guardians and healthcare professionals regularly track and measure a child's

growth and development from early stages to middle school. The growth and

development will reference and incorporate physical or behavioral manifestations of

physical, social, and intellectual progress that prompt control over any of the child’s

conditions. Kids smiling, crawling, manipulating objects, strolling, self-care, and talking

are milestones of growth and development that give significant knowledge into a child's

progression. However, the progress will be either typical or atypical. This paper will

address typical and atypical motor development and what parents and teachers may

observe as obstructions in the atypical development of children with disabilities.

It is imperative to perceive that development and growth charts will show how

development and growth charts may demonstrate motor progress developing as a smooth

upward movement toward dominance, the improvement of individual kids regularly does

not take after a smooth upward direction. Indeed, "bypasses" and steps in reverse are

basic as development evolves (Adolph and Berger, 2006). Baby motor development can

be comprehended as a procedure in which change happens as the newborn child

effectively adjusts to fluctuating conditions and new assignments.

Many children will develop growth motor skills in or at the same time and in the

same patterns. However, building these milestones will vary based on the child’s family

history and living arrangement. Therefore, milestones are normally reported according to

the approximate age, and not by their specific age. The growth and development chart

will show what the child would typically being doing compared to others in the same age

range. An infant or child that illustrate serious delays or unusual patterns of acquiring

crucial milestones will lbe This could be a sign of a motor or movement disorder. These

are examples: a child who cannot maintain sitting by the tenth month or a child whose

legs get very stiff every time he tries to roll over. Older children may also be displaying

atypical development if they are not able to eat with utensils or dress or undress, or if

they have trouble cutting with scissors or drawing.

Reflections

Comparisons & Roles of Professionals

Start with a topic sentence that introduces the topic of the paragraph. Reflect upon the

comparisons you found between typical and atypical motor development and the roles of
Running head: TYPICAL AND ATYPICAL MOTOR DEVELOPMENT 4

professionals who are involved in helping to meet the needs of students with related

developmental needs.

Conclusion

Wrap up your essay by relating it back to the thesis statement. You will want to leave

your reader with a strong statement of closure. Explain anything that has not been explained yet.

Typical and Atypical Motor Development

Part 1: Graphic Organizer

Research and compare typical and atypical motor development. Compile your findings in a
graphic organizer outlining the following:

1. Typical developmental milestones

2. Causes of atypical development
3. What parents and teachers may see as delays in the atypical development of children
with disabilities

Part 2: Reflection
In 250-500 words, reflect upon the comparisons you found between typical and atypical motor
development and the roles of professionals who are involved in helping to meet the needs of
students with related developmental needs.

Support your findings with a minimum of three references. Submit your graphic organizer and
reflection as one deliverable.

Prepare this assignment according to guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the
Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become
