Presbycusis?
sensorineural hearing loss (often of higher frequencies) due to destruction of hair less at the cochlear base (preserved low-frequency at apex)
Presbycusis - frequencies
loss of higher - base
preserved of high frequency - apex
early developmental milestones - Milestones dates?
range that have been approximated and vary by source
children not meeting milestones may
need assessment for potential developmental delay
early development - ages
infants: 0-12 months
toddler: 12-36 months
preschool: 3-5 yrs
infants - age
0-12 months
infants - motor characteristics
- primitive reflexes disappear - Moro (3 mth), rooting (4 mth), palmar (6 mth), Babinski (12 mth)
- posture - lifts head up prone (1 mth), rolls and sits (6 mth), crawls (8 mth), stands, (10 mth) walks (12-18 mth)
- Picks - passes toys hand to hand (6 mth), pincer grasp (10 mth)
Points to objects (12 months)
infant - primitive reflexes disappear
