Sensory Processing Development Chart

This document outlines typical sensory processing developmental milestones from birth to age 7. In the first 6 months, infants recognize scent, track objects with eyes, and coordinate sucking, swallowing and breathing. From 6-12 months, babies play with toys for 2-3 minutes, imitate gestures, and tolerate different food textures. Key milestones from 1-3 years include understanding dangers, copying sounds, following 1-step instructions, and beginning toilet training. Children develop counting, coloring recognition, and self-care skills from ages 3-6. By ages 6-7, they can write, reason, categorize, tell time, and read independently.
