Abstract

Data on psychomotor de development are compiled on 197 achondroplastic children. The data are plotted in a manner similar to that used in the Denver Developmental Screening Test. Gross motor development is delayed in achondroplastic children as compared to children of approriate age. There is no difference in language development.
