Milestones
Measuring your child's development growth
The Medcenter One pediatric therapy department has developed useful milestone reference sheets that help you compare your child’s age to where they should be developmentally.
The reference material helps you ascertain your child’s posture, balance, sitting, crawling, walking, running, jumping, dressing, reaching, handwriting, language and visual developments.
Gross motor milestones
These involve bigger, full-body movements a child makes, such as rolling over, sitting up, running or jumping.
