Kretch, Kari S.; Marcinowski, Emily C.; Hsu, Lin-Ya; Koziol, Natalie A.; Harbourne, Regina T.; Lobo, Michele A.; Dusing, Stacey C. – Developmental Science, 2023
The development of independent sitting changes everyday opportunities for learning and has cascading effects on cognitive and language development. Prior to independent sitting, infants experience the sitting position with physical support from caregivers. Why does supported sitting not provide the same input for learning that is experienced in…

Koziol, Natalie A.; Kretch, Kari S.; Harbourne, Regina T.; Lobo, Michele A.; McCoy, Sarah W.; Molinini, Rebecca; Hsu, Lin-Ya; Babik, Iryna; Baraldi Cunha, Andrea; Willett, Sandra L.; Bovaird, James A.; Dusing, Stacey C. – Grantee Submission, 2023
Purpose: This study tested whether the Sitting Together and Reaching to Play (START-Play) physical therapy intervention indirectly impacts cognition through changes in perceptual-motor skills in infants with motor delays. Methods: Participants were 50 infants with motor delays randomly assigned to START-Play plus Usual Care Early Intervention…

Baraldi Cunha, Andrea; Babik, Iryna; Koziol, Natalie A.; Hsu, Lin-Ya; Nord, Jayden; Harbourne, Regina T.; Westcott-McCoy, Sarah; Dusing, Stacey C.; Bovaird, James A.; Lobo, Michele A. – Grantee Submission, 2021
Purpose: To evaluate the validity, reliability, and sensitivity of the novel Means-End Problem-Solving Assessment Tool (MEPSAT). Methods: Children with typical development and those with motor delay were assessed throughout the first 2 years of life using the MEPSAT. MEPSAT scores were validated against the cognitive and motor subscales of the…

An, Mihee; Nord, Jayden; Koziol, Natalie A.; Dusing, Stacey C.; Kane, Audrey E.; Lobo, Michele A.; McCoy, Sarah W.; Harbourne, Regina T. – Grantee Submission, 2021
Aim: To describe the development of an intervention-specific fidelity measure and its utilization and to determine whether the newly developed Sitting Together and Reaching to Play (START-Play) intervention was implemented as intended. Also, to quantify differences between START-Play and usual early intervention (uEI) services. Method: A fidelity…

Harbourne, Regina T.; Dusing, Stacey C.; Lobo, Michele A.; Westcott-McCoy, Sarah; Bovaird, James; Sheridan, Susan; Galloway, James C.; Chang, Hui-Ju; Hsu, Lin-Ya; Koziol, Natalie; Marcinowski, Emily C.; Babik, Iryna – Grantee Submission, 2018
Background: There is limited research examining the efficacy of early physical therapy on infants with neuromotor dysfunction. In addition, most early motor interventions have not been directly linked to learning, despite the clear association between motor activity and cognition during infancy. Objective: The aim of this project is to evaluate…
