Infant-Toddler Assessment Handbook: A User's Guide to the Humanics National Child Assessment Form Ages 0-3

Each item in the checklist is a sample of many related skills and behaviors and in that sense serves as an index of more general characteristics of development. Items are grouped into five scales that represent areas of child development: Social Emotional, Language, and Cognitive, Gross and Fine motor Skills.
