    Explanation
    Findings that indicate a developmental delay: Language: uses one word sentences, can say 5 words- At age 2, toddlers are expected to use at least two-word phrases and have a vocabulary of about 50 words. This finding suggests a delay in expressive language development. Play: does not notice when others are upset- At this age, toddlers begin to show empathy or awareness of others' emotions. Not noticing when others are upset could indicate a delay in social-emotional development. Rationale for incorrect findings: Fine motor: rotates utensils to bring them to their mouth- This is an age-appropriate fine motor skill. Gross motor: scoots on bottom up and down stairs- Although some toddlers may walk up stairs by 2 years, scooting is still within developmental range.
