Typical Development in kids 0-5

In my class I found this website and I like the information that it gives. I think it is a good summary in a lot of ways. Interesting now that we know that William and RosiLee are developmentally delayed to see these types of charts. They fall into the 9 month-12 month chart areas in emotional and communication and have a few 18 month skills (mostly gross motor types of things).
