R.T. is 4 ½ years old and she is over halfway through the child development-screening checklist. R.T. has accomplished many of the items on the checklist. Her growth and physical development includes being able to draw, name, and describe recognizable pictures, she can draw a three-part person, she can use blocks to build structures, she can manipulate come-apart and fit together objects, and she can show interest in copying simple figures.
