Widely acclaimed for its accuracy and ease of use, From Birth to Five Years is generally accepted as the most authoritative guide for the assessment of children in this age group. Stages of development for each age group are clearly described in the illustrated sequences which include sections on posture and large movements, vision and fine movements, hearing and speech, and social behaviour and play. Many procedures require only a minimum of special facilities, usually some common play material, and a reasonably sized quiet room. This book should be of interest to /OREAD.
