Developmental milestones are important for comparison and to make sure that a child is growing at what is considered the normal pace. For this we will take a look at some important milestones from birth to 3 years. These developmental milestones are considered a rough account of how a child should develop. Some children will demonstrate all of these while others will master some skills and may lag behind in others. Generally physicians would not consider it a sign of developmental delay unless the child is markedly slow in some areas of development. General milestones from birth to 3 years are mentioned below and it must be noted that these milestones are important for professionals in related fields since they can assess a child's progress against these milestones and at the same time study the reasons behind developmental delays.

health care strategies and skills for Zoe to improve in her decision-making, communication, introspection, and problem-solving. The strategies will focus on using and developing various ground rules for health care discussions. The interventions will also assess independence of attitudes and knowledge in relation to Zoe's content. Recognizing and reflecting on Zoe's personal feelings and emotional negotiations is essential in this study. The paper encourages stakeholders such as Mrs. Flynn
The most fundamental theorist in this area is Jean Piaget. Additionally, Piaget demonstrated one of the first scientific movements in the filed, with the utilization of direct observation as the best tool for understanding. (Piaget, 1962, p. 107) Piaget also believes, and his theories reflect that children play a very active and dynamic role in development through interaction with their environment and active role imitation. (Piaget, 1962, p. 159) Sensory-motor

This will present a break from the norm set by most researchers who concentrate on studying the relationship between a child's ability and development, and the actions and environment surrounding the child. For instance, the study conducted by Berger and Adolph just considers how changing the size of the bridge makes a child to adopt a different strategy (using the handrail) in crossing the bridge but does not asses
Revised Introduction: Challenges and Strategies in Assisting Children with DisabilitiesHandling the needs of children with disabilities is a complex task for both families and professionals, whether at home or within educational environments. To effectively handle these issues, it is crucial to harness technology efficiently, particularly in selecting and comprehending the correct Assistive Technology (AT). As an element of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), AT has undergone substantial development since the
