It compares Marty, a typical 4 month old (there are also 2 month and 6 month with the same 2 babies) and Owen an atypical (developmentally delayed) child, doing the same exercises. I used this video as a basis for this video of 80 who was 5 months adjusted at the time.

When 80 was still in the NICU, I did a lot of research on chronological development. I found Pathways.org through their youtube channel. They have a whole host of developmental videos but for the interest of this subject I'm referring to this one
