Document Summary
Teaching a child to perform a developmental skill with specific materials does not lead to conceptual understanding. I. e. wanting a 5 mo old to start walking it"s impossible it can"t be taught they are not developmentally (cognitive and motor) ready. Exposure promotes but does not speed up development. A child"s level of thinking impacts/ limits how and what they are capable of learning. Learning occurs when a child applies the developmental skills they have to acquire new functional/pre-academic / academic skills. Development occurs when a child acquires a new cognitive skill (limitation) or a more advanced level of thinking / reasoning. It is important to take a child"s developmental level into considerations when program planning as it affects. What forms of lang they will reliably use. The supports they will be able to access. Basic imitation - familiar actions on familiar object. Beginning awareness that objects exist when out of view. Applying established behaviors to solve new problems.
