Bican, Rachel; Lowes, Linda; Alfano, Lindsay; McNally, Michael; Durbak, Emily; Pan, Xueliang; Heathcock, Jill – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
Background: Spontaneous upper extremity movements in infancy provide insight on neuromotor development. Spatiotemporal kinematics have been used to evaluate typical development of reaching, a foundational motor skill in infancy. This study evaluates the relationship between spontaneous upper extremity movements, not elicited by a toy, and motor…

Amelia Yanchik; Peter Vietze; Leah Esther Lax – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2024
The literature has yet to review the differential effects of Natural Environment Teaching (NET) and Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) on adaptive skills. A sample of 142 children diagnosed with ASD between the ages of 16 and 35 months received either DTT, NET, or both interventions (NET+ DTT). The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (BSID)…
