The Texas Infant, Toddler, and Three-Year-Old Early Learning Guidelines (ITELG) were created by the Texas Early Learning Council to help early childhood professionals and parents understand what very young Texans should know and be able to do at different points in their development. The guidelines have developmental information for children from birth to 48 months in four key domains (physical health and motor, social and emotional, language and communication, and cognitive) and caregiver strategies to support optimal development.
