Dense but essential reading for a pediatric physical therapist. This text pushes beyond a chart of developmental stages and helps one grasp gross motor quality. It also helps establish a language for describing gross motor development.
All that said, this is not casual reading for a person interested in learning a bit more about gross motor development. Unless one has a solid grasp on kinesiology, this book will be more confusing than enlightening.
