Developmental Assessment of Young Children

Types of Brain Development

• Brain development occurs unevenly, with different parts of the brain (related to different skills) developing at different times. Most of this development takes place during childhood, meaning that the early years are the prime time for children to learn and grow under the encouragement of their family and friends. The different types of brain development in children include:

Visual and auditory development

Language development

Physical and motor development

Emotional and social development
