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. Close

with a bang. Here is the address of a site that you might want to check out for help with your
