Does she bring objects close to her eyes? HCWB Ch4 Page 24-2.png Does she follow slowly moving objects with her head? HCWB Ch4 Page 24-3.png
Does she always tilt her head in a certain way? HCWB Ch4 Page 24-4.png Does she move her hand back and forth in front of her eyes? HCWB Ch4 Page 24-5.png
Does she reach for objects that do not make sounds?HCWB Ch4 Page 24-6.png
