The _________ theory states that development is a complex process that emerges from a complex interaction of the infant/child and its maturing MSK and neural systems with the environment.
systems
In the systems theory, _______ are one of many influences on the control of posture and movement,
reflexes
__________ = change of shape, form structure and size of body and is a part of development.
growth
________ stops at maturation but __________ continues until death.
growth; development
Child ________ = how a child become sable to do more complex activities as he/she gets older.

_____ _______ = ability to use small muscles, specifically in hand and fingers
fine motor
______ ______ = ability to use large muscles to sit, maintain balance, walk and run
gross motor
Developmental _________ = set of functional skills or age specific tasks that most children can do at certain age ranges.
milestone
Milestones develop ______.
sequentially
One of the roles poe PT is to evaluate timing and ____ of developing milestones
quality
There is ________ in typical development , with ____-_____ “peaks and valleys” within children, across children and across developmental domains.
variability; non-linear
___ quarter: infants develop the ability to control their head i virtually al positions in space. This control is fine tuned in successive months.
1st
