ECTPP102A Play & Documentation: Developmental Checklist for 12 Months

This assignment presents a developmental checklist for assessing the perceptual, fine, and gross motor skills of a 12-month-old child. It includes observations on gross motor coordination, balance, laterality, static and dynamic balance, visual motor control, foot-eye coordination, and hand-eye coordination. The checklist details specific observations, such as the child's ability to switch in and out of sitting, walk without support, maintain balance, grasp objects, and pick up toys. Comments highlight areas of strength and areas needing improvement, referencing developmental milestones and early childhood theories. An additional checklist is provided with the observations of another child, and includes sections for a child developmental summary, objectives for future learning, and learning experience for inclusion in the curriculum.

Perceptual, Fine /Gross Motor Development
Perceptual motor learning involves the senses of seeing, hearing, touching
and smelling and moving. Some skills include:
hand -eye coordination foot -eye coordination laterality
directionality kinaesthesia balance static balance dynamic balance
body image visual motor control coordination gross motor coordination

stationary condition

Dynamic
Balance
