The Institutes Developmental Profile

Home

The Institutes Developmental Profile is a delineation of the significant stages of child brain development through which children pass as they progress from birth to six years. The purpose of the Developmental Profile is to reduce the thousands of accomplishments that a child enjoys to those functions that are actually causes rather than mere results of other functions. It is a clear and reliable tool for measuring the degree of ability or disability—and rate of progress—of brain-injured and well children.

 

In the past, it was believed that this progression was predestined and unalterable as a result of genetic inheritance superimposed upon a rigid schedule of time and sequence.

 

The work of the staff of The Institutes from 1940 to the present has shown that this is untrue and that the order in which the significant stages take place is a function of brain development, as successively higher brain stages are brought into play. The time schedule is highly variable and depends, not upon genetic factors, but rather upon the frequency, intensity and duration of the stimuli provided to the brain by the child's environment, which is notably and most often his family.

 

The Institutes proposes that the goal of teaching children between birth and age six must be to take each child through these stages of normal development in their normal order and with the greatest possible speed consistent with perfection. The Institutes Developmental Profile represents that progression against which each child's progress is measured.  

 

This table represents the stages of sensory development, as described in The Institutes Developmental Profile:

 

Brain Stage	Time Frame	Visual Competence	Auditory Competence	Tactile Competence
VII Sophisticated Cortex	Superior 36 mon. Average 72 mon.   Slow 144 mon.	Reading with total understanding	Understanding of complete vocabulary & proper sentences	Tactile Identification of objects
VI Primitive Cortex	Superior 18 mon. Average 36 mon.   Slow 72 mon.	Identification of visual symbols and letters within experience	Understanding of 2000 words and simple sentences	Ability to determine characteristics of objects by tactile means
V Early Cortex	Superior 9 mon. Average 18 mon.   Slow 36 mon.	Differentiation of similar but unlike simple visual symbols	Understanding of 10 to 25 words and two couplets	Tactile differentiation of similar but unlike objects
IV Initial Cortex	Superior 6 mon. Average 12 mon.   Slow 24 mon.	Convergence of vision resulting in simple depth perception	Understanding of two words of speech	Tactile understanding of the third dimension in objects which appear to be flat
III Midbrain and Subcortical Areas	Superior 3.5 mon. Average 7 mon.   Slow 14 mon.	Appreciation of detail within a configuration	Appreciation of meaningful sounds	Appreciation of gnostic sensation
II Brain Stem and Early Subcortical Areas	Superior 1 mon. Average 2.5 mon.   Slow 5 mon.	Outline perception	Vital response to threatening sounds	Perception of vital sensation
I Early Brain Stem and Cord	Superior Birth to .5 mon. Average Birth to 1 mon.   Slow Birth to 2 mon.	Light reflex	Startle reflex	Babinski reflex

 

This table represents the stages of motor development, as described in The Institutes Developmental Profile:

 

Brain Stage	Time Frame	Mobility Competence	Language Competence	Manual Competence
VII Sophisticated Cortex	Superior 36 mon. Average 72 mon.   Slow 144 mon.	Using a leg in a skilled role which is consistent with the dominant hemisphere	Complete vocabulary and proper sentence structure	Using a hand to write which is consistent with the dominant hemisphere
VI Primitive Cortex	Superior 18 mon. Average 36 mon.   Slow 72 mon.	Walking and running in complete cross pattern	2000 words of language and short sentences	Bimanual function with one hand in a skilled role
V Early Cortex	Superior 9 mon. Average 18 mon.   Slow 36 mon.	Walking with arms freed from the primary balance role	10 to 25 words of language and two couplets	Cortical opposition bilaterally and simultaneously
IV Initial Cortex	Superior 6 mon. Average 12 mon.   Slow 24 mon.	Walking with arms used in a primary balance role most frequently at or above shoulder height	Two words of speech used spontaneously and meaningfully	Cortical opposition in either hand
III Midbrain and Subcortical Areas	Superior 3.5 mon. Average 7 mon.   Slow 14 mon.	Creeping on hands and knees, culminating in cross pattern creeping	Creation of meaningful sounds	Prehensile grasp
II Brain Stem and Early Subcortical Areas	Superior 1 mon. Average 2.5 mon.   Slow 5 mon.	Crawling in the prone position culminating in cross pattern crawling	Vital crying in response to threats of life	Vital release
I Early Brain Stem and Cord	Superior Birth to .5 mon. Average Birth to 1 mon.   Slow Birth to 2 mon.	Movement of arms and legs without bodily movement	Birth cry and crying	Grasp reflex
