AB Observation  over  centuries  confirms  that  infants  and  children  learn  developmental  skills  in  a  predictable  order  within  a  predictable  age  range.  These  skills  occur  in  the  following  neurodevelopmental  streams:  neuromotor  (including  gross  motor,  fine  motor,  and  oral  motor),  neurocognitive  (including  language,  social,  nonverbal/visual-motor  problem  solving,  and  adaptive),  and  neurobehavior  (including  attention  and  activity/impulsivity).  Gross  motor  skills  include  rolling  over,  crawling,  and  walking,  and  progressing  to  running,  jumping,  and  skipping;  fine  motor  skills  include  picking  up  an  item,  first  with  a  full  fist  and  then  progressing  to  doing  the  same  with  a  mature  pincer  grasp;  oral  motor  skills  include  speech  articulation  and  feeding.  Nonverbal/visual-motor  problem-solving  skills  include  determining  how  to  obtain  an  item  that  is  out  of  reach  or  determining  which  of  two  containers  is  smaller.  Expressive  language  skills  include  cooing,  babbling,  and  progressing  to  saying  words,  phrases,  and  sentences.  Receptive  language  skills  include  following  a  one-step  command  given  with  a  gesture  and  progressing  to  following  nongestured  commands.  Social  skills  include  reciprocally  smiling  and  progressing  to  interactive  play  with  others.
