Child Movement, Activity, & Developmental Health Laboratory

Using motor skills and physical activity to promote healthy development
Dr. Leah Robinson (center) with students and kids at the Towsley Children's House
About

The Child Movement, Activity, & Developmental Health Laboratory studies three areas of childhood development: motor skill acquisition, physical activity, and physical health and development in children between the ages of 3 and 8 years. We inves-tigate the developmental process of motor skill acquisition along with the underlying factors that shaped or are influenced by a child’s ability to move. We also seek to promote positive physical development through the implementation of evidence-based interventions. The goal of our research is to motivate children to move and ensure that they enter school healthy, active, and ready to learn.
