Glen T. Steele, OD FCOVD FAAO , Professor, Pediatric Service, Southern College of Optometry, Memphis, TN
Meeting developmental milestones in early development is primarily achieved by observing how an infant looks and engages in their individual environment.  The child who develops appropriate looking patterns will be judged to be socially, emotionally and cognitively ahead of those who do not.  This will discuss particular looking patterns associated with appropriate development and timelines for intervention.

Learning Areas:

Planning of health education strategies, interventions, and programs
Provision of health care to the public

Learning Objectives:
Evaluate the use of looking patterns to determine social, emotional and cognitive development. Describe the link between looking patterns to overall development.
