Publisher's Synopsis
This work provides background material on premature infants and infant development to help educate parents, caregivers and therapists. The manual can be modified for one-to-one intervention and home visits. The photocopiable record keeping forms can be used to track infants' progress and record interventions with family members/care givers.;The manual's lesson plans cover play interventions in five major developmental areas: fine motor; cognition; gross motor; communication; sensory. These lessons can be used in conjunction with the background information and the developmental principles outlined in the manual and this information can be combined to develop an effective early intervention product.
