Hi everyone, I am looking for the CDLA child development guide which looks at age groups and the expected development. I have looked everyone and struggling to find one. Any help would be great.

Hi ... I haven’t found it, but thought I’d share where I got to in case of help ...

In this guidance, I found references to milestones, and also a link to ‘Normal paediatric development milestones’ .. but it seems to be a link to the DWP’s intranet:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/medical-guidance-for-dla-decision-makers-child-cases-staff-guide
http://intralink/1/dcs/ccm/childrens/dwp_t896632.asp

I also then found this, which while not DWP/benefits-specific (it’s from the Dept for Education) does have info re developmental milestones by age ... here are the anchor links to:

- Communication and language

- Personal, social and emotional development

- Physical development

NB - there are also sections on literacy, maths, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design.

Hope that’s of some help, but anyone else find anything out there?

Cheers - Shawn
