One of the measurements that can be used to determine a child’sdevelopmental progression is to compare the child to the typicaldevelopmental milestones. Some examples of developmental milestonesare when an infant first sits up, crawls, and walks. There are alsodevelopmental milestones for communication, emotional, and socialdevelopment. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) provides someextensive information on developmental milestones for infants andyoung children.
