The bulk of the document is made up of sequenced learning steps covering communication (sign language, sensory training, written language, music and rhythm); gross motor development; fine motor development; eating; sleeping; toilet training; dressing and undressing; and personal hygiene. Charts, illustrations, learning activities, and games are provided throughout the text. (SB)
