3. Red flags on Gross and Fine motor skills and Self-help
Domains
You can find the typical and atypical developmental
milestones of the physical domain, which is includes the
gross, fine, motor and self-help, in the textbook
Foundations of Special and Inclusive Education. This
lesson will concentrate on the red flags under this
domain.

4. You will often see children moving wherever they are.
Physical activities are integrated in their lines. However,
with the recent exposure to technology, children are
moving less. They are often seen in front of the television
watching. When out the house, you saw them using their
gadgets.

5. It is good to keep in mind that children who are
engaged in higher levels of physical activity will more
likely do so when they grow older, which as we all
know is crucial in one's well-being.
When a child uses the large muscles, such as arms,
legs, feet, or entire body, for actions and abilities this is
reffered to the gross motor skills, running, jumping, anf
climbing are a few exampls that full under this type.

6. According to the reference guide for early years and
health care professionals on York Region (2019), the
red flags under the gross motor skills are as follows:
• At three months old, little or no movement in legs and
unable to lift head when lying on tummy
•At six months old, unable to sit using hands for support
and difficulty controlling head movements

7. • A nine months old, unable to sit in dependently, uses only
one side of the body to move and legs unable to bear
weight
• At 12 months old, not yet pulling to stand, only able to sit
with weight on one side
• At 18 months old, not able to walk or stand independently
• At 24 months old, not walking up or down the stairs even
with support and falls easily

8. When a child uses the small muscles , such as the
hands and fingers, to make actions, this refers to fine
motor skills. Writing and picking up objects an examples
of actuvities that fall specifically under this physical
domain.

9. The red flags under the fine motor skills are as follows:
• For infants, the inability to hold or grasp on object for
a short period of time.
• For all children, hands are fisted most of the time,
inability to play appropriately with a variety of age -
appropriate toys, and has difficulty using one side
of body.

10. Self-help skills are often overlooked, but they are also
necessary for a child to care for oneself thatincludes
physical skills, such as dressing and bathing, and
emotional skills, such as showing kindness and offering
assistance to others in need. According to children's
Health Queensland Hospital and Health Science (2016),
the indicators for red flags under the self-help domain are
as follows:

11. • At six months old, there is no attempt to reach for objects
• At nine months old, toy cannot be moved from one hand to
the other
• At 12 months old, is not able to feed self with finger food
