Material Listing

Developed for National Autism Awareness Month, this growth chart describes expected milestones in how children play, learn, speak and act from children from age 1 through 5. The message is to learn the signs in order to help prevent developmental delay.

This series of fact sheets describes skills to expect from children at different stages based on age. Includes mental skills, social skills, and tips for parents to promote healthy development and deal with challenging behavior.

"What do we really know about how a young child develops? What can parents do to best support their child's healthy development and growing brain? Some of the answers are in this series of Healthy Minds handouts. Each handout is based on findings from a report from the National Academy of Sciences that examined the research on child and brain development to establish what is known about the early years.

The information is organized by developmental stage:

1. Infancy: Birth to 18 Months
2. Early Childhood: 18 Months to 3 Years
3. Play Age: 3 to 5 Years
4. School Age: 6 to 12 Years
5. Adolescence: 12 to 18 Years
6. Young adulthood: 18 to 35
7. Middle Adulthood: 35 to 55 or 65
8. Late Adulthood: 55 or 65 to Death

The Tribal Law and Policy Institute (TLPI) provided technical assistance and collaborated with OVW on the design and delivery of the session. This final report details the event.
