Infant & Toddler Development

Children develop gross motor milestones in a layered pattern, building on existing movement patterns and strength in order to further advance their independence with mobility as they grow.  Development can be altered by many different causes including prematurity, breech positioning, genetic conditions, and asymmetries in strength.  Physical therapy provides interventions to help a child learn and master new skills, build strength, and education for parents to carry interventions into play-time for continued development.
