Ali Brian; Jenna R. Fisher; Sally Taunton Miedema; Adam Pennell; Lauren J. Lieberman – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2021
Youth with visual impairments often show difficulties with gross motor skills regardless of age or sex. Gross motor skills support positive developmental trajectories for health warranting the need for assessment. The Total Body Developmental Sequences (TBDS) are fast, easy-to-use, indices of gross motor development with relatively unknown…

Duarte, Marcelo Gonçalves; Nobre, Glauber Carvalho; Gomes, Thábata Viviane Brandão; Benda, Rodolfo Novelino – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
Background: Studies related to the motor performance of children have suggested an interaction between organisms and the environment. Although motor development seems to be similar among people, the behavior is specific to the context that people are part of. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare the fundamental motor skill performance…

Research on sex-related differences in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been impeded by small samples. We pooled 28 datasets from 18 sites across nine European countries to examine sex differences in the ASD phenotype on the ADI-R (376 females, 1763 males) and ADOS (233 females, 1187 males). On the ADI-R, early childhood restricted and…
