Normal Development

This user-friendly database and companion textbook explain the typical developmental milestones and behaviors expected from birth to adulthood. The Normal Development– Second Edition CD-ROM and text present easy access to information while searching keywords, authors, or age ranges.

1,100 records of developmental milestones organized by components of Phonology, Semantics, Cognition, Syntax, Pragmatics, and Gross and Fine Motor information tracing processes from birth to adulthood. The companion text offers exercises and activities for students to enhance study of normal developmental issues. Students can search the database, focusing on any or all components of development by an author, by a particular age range, or with specific keywords.

Students can mark records to print or view them later. Users can also crossreference behaviors without losing their place. Use the program to:
» Create and print checklists for observing behaviors
» Select and suggest activities for intervention
» Produce informative handouts with references for parents, along with helpful descriptions of behaviors
» Print activities for parents to help facilitate the development of necessary behaviors

Instructors, university students, practicing SLPs, and parents interested in following their child’s development will find this an extensive and invaluable database of information.
