  1. Rudimentary Movements • First forms of voluntary movement • Sequential, predictable, universal

  2. Related to increased motor control and movement

  3. Categories of Rudimentary Skills • Stability

  4. Head Control • End of 1st month: • conscious control over head & neck visible • 5 months- muscular control of head =good

  5. Body Control • 2 months= head and chest elevation • After chest elev. Attempts at rolling • 6 months - rolling leads to crawling

  6. Rolling - first attempts are “rigid” • then segmental-head, shoulders, trunk, hips • 8 months - rolls front to back/back to front

  7. Upright postures • Frees hands for reaching, grasping • Sitting: • as early as 3 mo.- assisted • 5 mo. -with little support

  8. May still lean forward due to lumbar control • 7 months - self supported position • 8 months - without assistance

  9. STANDING • Standing postures

  10. Infant needs support • Has wide base of support • High guard position • by 1 yr = standing unassisted

  11. Locomotion • Locomotion

  12. Prone Locomotion • Crawling(around 6 mo) • before creeping • child “drags” body • Homolateral pattern- “commando crawl” • less mature

  13. Creeping • around 7 - 9 mo. • Efficient movement • arms/legs move in opposition • Trunk raised off floor

  14. Upright locomotion • walking - end product of movement progressions • as early as 8 months • at 10 months with less support/ 12 mo. - alone

  15. Manipulation • Manipulation

  16. Reaching, grasping, releasing

  17. Around 5 to 6 months wrist, finger, hand control increased • 18 mo. May release objects

  18. Early Movement/Cognitive Programs

  19. Effects of Programs • Why are more parents participating in early movement/ enrichment programs? • Can there be negative aspects to such programs?

  20. What role does socioeconomic status have to do with participation?

  21. Head Start • What do you know about Head Start? • Johnson Administration • Focus is for financially disadvantaged • Poverty is cyclic • Comprehensive Program(B-5)

  22. Focus of Head Start • Increasing school readiness • Nurture • Parents/ Medical • Diversity

  23. Swimming Programs • What reasoning might some parents have in enrolling their infants in such a program? • Findings are conflicting

  24. Benefits: • Controversial Aspects:

  25. Problems with Swim Programs • Health related issues

  26. Stimulation ProgramsFor At-risk Infants • Infant connecting with parents • Developing the total child pays • Nurturing environments help kids • Long term programs are beneficial
