PRONE: Physiological flexion, Lifts head briefly, Head to side
SUPINE: Physiological flexion, Rolls partly to side
SITTING: Head lag in pull to sit
STANDING: Reflex standing and walking
GENERAL: Objects in direct line of sight, Follow to midline, Fists, Jerky arms, Purposeful or random
2 - 3 Months
PRONE: Lift head 90 degrees briefly, Chest up with some weight in forearms, Roll to supine
SUPINE: Strong ATNR, Reciprocal leg kick, Prefer head to side
SITTING: Head bobbing upright, Variable head lag in pull to sit, Full support to sit
STANDING: Poor weight bearing, Hips flexed behind shoulders
GENERAL: See farther, Hands opening, Eyes follow 180 degrees, Grasp reflexive, Palmar grasp
4 - 5 Months
PRONE: Weight on extended arms, Pivot to reach toys
SUPINE: Rolls to side
SITTING: Head steady if supported, Turns head, Sits alone briefly
STANDING: All weight in legs if supported
GENERAL: Grasps and releases toys, Ulnar-palmar grasp
6 - 7 Months
PRONE: Rolls to prone, Holds weight on one hand to reach for toy
SUPINE: Lifts head
SITTING: Lifts head and helps pull to sitting, I move to sitting, I sitting
MOBILITY: May crawl backward
GENERAL: Approach object with one arm in neutral, Radial-palmar grasp, “Rakes” small objects, Release object to other hand
8 - 9 Months
PRONE: Moves to hands-knees
SUPINE: Does not tolerate supine
SITTING: Moves to prone, Sits long period without hand support, Pivot in sitting
STANDING: Stands and pulls to stand at furniture, Lowers to sitting if supported

Cephalic To Caudal
Head and UE control first. General skill acquisition from head to toe.
Gross To Fine
Large muscle movement acquisition progressing to small
Mass To Specific
Acquire simple movements progressing towards complex
Proximal To Distal
Trunk control (midline stability) progressing to distal control (extremities)
