Developmental Programming for Infants and Young Children: Volume 3. Stimulation Activities (DEVLPMNTL PRGRM INFANT & YOUNG)

Developmental Programming for Infants and Young Children: Volume 3 provides a reservoir of ideas for carrying out planned program objectives. Each developmental area contains sequenced develop mental behaviors that would be expected in a normal child, with adaptations for specific handicapping conditions noted. This volume describes ways to handle, stimulate, and interact with a young child functioning in the developmental age range 0-to-36 months. It can be used by parents for at-home activities.

This volume is available as a set in combination with Volumes 1 and 2.

Developmental Programming for Infants and Young Children has proven to be an invaluable tool for teachers, therapists, and other professionals who assess and facilitate the development of children functioning primarily in the 0-to-60 month range. The authors address six areas of development: perceptual/fine motor, cognition, language, social/emotional, self-care, and gross motor. Volumes 1, 2, and 3 are designed for use with children functioning in the 0-to-36-month developmental age range, while Volumes 4 and 5 extend assessment and programming guidelines to 5-year (preschool) levels.

Carefully designed and tested by the University of Michigan's Institute for the Study of Mental Retardation and Related Disabilities, all volumes bridge the gap between assessment and program implementation.
