3 Practical Takeaways

What infant natural motor skill development teaches us

How do infants acquire motor skills? What can it teach us when we plan our interventions?

 

This #3PracticalTakeaways is based on an expert opinion piece by Adolph et al (2018). For many years, Dr. Karen Adolph and her colleagues have been observing motor development of children from different cultural backgrounds. Based on those studies, they provide 15 suggestions for developmental research, included clinical implications for health providers, and how these suggestions apply to the development of talking. While it was hard to choose just 3 takeaways, we decided to include 2 A-ha moments, and 1 unifying recommendation for intervention planning.
