T2  - Meeting the Physical Therapy Needs of Children
AB  - The  development  of  a  child  is  a  fascinating  and  complex  process  involving  the  interaction  between  inborn  genetic  influences  and  vast  environmental  influences  and  experiences.  Philosophers  and  others  have  spent  centuries  debating  the  influence  of  nature  versus  nurture  on  the  development  of  children.  Theories  of  child  development  abound  and  numerous  books  have  been  written  on  the  topic.  The  reader  is  urged  to  seek  more  in-depth  information  beyond  what  is  summarized  in  this  chapter.  This  chapter  briefly  reviews  theories  of  child  development  that  have  had  the  greatest  impact  on  pediatric  physical  therapy.  This  review  is  followed  by  an  overview  of  the  development  of  functional  movement  from  birth  through  adolescence.
