Development of locomotion I: II: Standing and walking Development of locomotion • Manipulation (evolutaion of grasp) Standing and walking Head Circumference • Another very important part of

assessing brain development is measuring the grow th of the brain. This is accomplished by measuring the head circumference, w hic h is an accurate reflection of brain size . The brain grows to 80% of its adult volume during the first 2 years of lif e so many neurological diseases that occur early in lif e w ill impact the grow th of the brain. A small head (m icrocephaly) or a large head (macrocephaly or hydrocephalus) can be key findings in explaining the neurological abnormalities of a child. • It is essential to plot head circumference on a standardiz ed head grow th chart such as the Nellhaus chart. 8 SPECIAL PROGRAMS Neurodevelopment Assessment Head Circumference • Attentional based disorders • Dyslexia and language related learning difficulties • Study and organizational problems • Non-verbal learning disabilities • Emotional/Behavioral problems • Written Expression problems Developmental Milestones • The neurological examination of the pediatric patient

must be couched in the context of neurodevelopmental milestones. The normal neurological findings one w ould expect for a new born are certainly diff erent than a 2, 6 or 12-month-old infant. Obtaining developmental milestones is an important reflection of the maturation of the child’s nervous system and assessing development is an essential part of the pediatric neurological examination. De lay in obtaining developmental milestones and abnormal patterns of development are important indicators of underlying neurological disease.
