This guide offers a comprehensive approach to the developmental examination of pre-school children, serving as a companion to Mary Sheridan's foundational work. It provides practical guidance for health, education, and social care professionals, helping them translate developmental theory into real-world practice. Grounded in current research on child development, the book supports professionals tasked with assessing children's growth as part of their everyday roles. Beginning with a framework for developmental examination, it covers key areas of physical, cognitive, and social development, offering insights on observation and enquiry. It highlights typical and atypical patterns, including 'red flags' for identifying significant delays or abnormalities. The book also provides advice on interpreting findings and effectively communicating them to parents. To further enhance the learning experience, a companion website offers additional resources, including an interactive timeline of developmental domains, theoretical introductions with further reading links, research summaries, and video demonstrations of practical assessment skills. This comprehensive resource aims to empower professionals in their assessments of children's developmental progress.
