This user-friendly database and companion textbook explains the typical developmental milestones and behaviors expected from birth to adult. The  Normal Development CD-ROM and text presents easy access to information while searching:

• Keywords, authors, or age ranges
• 1,100 records of developmental milestones organized by components of Phonology, Semantics, Cognition, Syntax, Pragmatics, Gross and Fine Motor
• Information tracing processes from birth to adult

The companion text offers exercises and activities for students to enhance study of normal developmental issues. Students can search the database focusing on any or all components of development by an author, a particular age range, or with specific key words. Students can mark records to print or view them later. Users can also cross-reference behaviors without losing their place. Use the program to:

• Create and print checklists for observing behaviors
• View 3-D animated examples of developmental behaviors
• Select and suggest activities for intervention
• Produce informative handouts with references for parents along with helpful descriptions of behaviors
• Print research evidence of developmental behaviors in tables and figures
• Print activities for parents to help facilitate the development of necessary behaviors

Instructors, university students, practicing SLPs, and parents interested in following their child’s development will find an extensive and invaluable database of information in the Normal Development text and CD.
