A developmental and clinical decision-making guide designed to help pediatric physical therapists determine when a child is truly ready to progress to the next gross motor skill. This resource emphasizes movement quality over chronological age and provides progression criteria, regression strategies, treatment ideas, toy suggestions, and clinical reasoning tips for foundational motor skills including head control, rolling, sitting, quadruped, crawling, kneeling, pull-to-stand, cruising, and ambulation. Created for children with cerebral palsy and gross motor delays who may not follow traditional developmental timelines, this guide helps therapists identify breakdowns in movement patterns, support more efficient motor learning, and build functional skills through a developmental sequence approach. Perfect for pediatric PTs, students, and clinicians looking for practical, evidence-informed treatment progression support.
