Motor & Visual Development Laboratory

Understanding visuomotor integration in autism and typical development

About

We want to understand how motor and visual systems develop across the lifespan, especially in clinical populations like Autism Spectrum Disorder. Movements like balancing, walking, and reaching rely heavily on efficient integration of visual information into motor plans. Inefficient visuomotor integration can cause problems with functional movement. We want to understand the mechanisms involved in visuomotor integration, the effect they have on functional ability, and what supports or interventions can help with accommodation and inclusion.


We have a variety of opportunities for members of the community or U-M affiliates to engage with the lab.

  • We have ongoing research studies for people with neurodevelopmental conditions (e.g., autistic children/teens/adults) and for neurotypical people.
  • We partner with community groups to engage in advocacy and education (e.g., public lectures, workshops, and program consultation).
  • We invite stakeholders to be part of our Community Advisory Group to provide valued input on our research.
  • We enjoy collaboration with researchers and clinicians working in related areas.

Please share your contact information using our form, and a member of the team will be in touch soon!
