The Role that Parents Play in the Development of Physical Activity Behaviors and Motor Skill Development in Young Children with Developmental Disabilities

Creator:: Ku, Byungmo
Abstract:: Young children with developmental disabilities (< 12 years old) participate less in physical activity (PA) and experience motor skill deficits compared to young children without disabilities (Jung, Leung, Schram, & Yun, 2018; Liu, Hamilton, Davis, & ElGarhy, 2014; Whyatt & Craig, 2012). When taking account of a bi-directional relationship between...

Predicting School Readiness Using Motor Skill Proficiency of At-Risk Preschoolers

Creator:: Tepfer, Amanda Taek Soon
Abstract:: Background: Early childhood is filled with incredible growth in all areas of development and offers a critical period for optimal learning (Lerner, 2002). During this critical period both motor skills (Bouffard, Watkinson, Thompson, Causgrove Dunn, & Romanow, 1996; Clark & Metcalfe, 2002; Lubans, Morgan, Cliff, Barnett, & Okely, 2010; Stodden...

Exploration of the use of classroom based physical activity breaks among teachers of students with disabilities

Creator:: Fiscella, Nicole
Abstract:: In 2022, the Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth noted only 24% of children ages 6 to 17 years achieved the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity daily, with a drop in physical activity as children age (Barriss, 2022). More importantly, children with disabilities have been found...

Motor Skill Proficiency, Performance and Participation in Children with Physical Disabilities

Creator:: Ross, Samantha M.
Abstract:: Background: Mastery of fundamental motor skills (FMS) in childhood is proposed to facilitate participation in physical activity (PA) opportunities, through context-specific application of FMS (Clarke & Metclafe, 2002; Stodden et al., 2008). Children with disabilities impacting motor skill development thus are at greater risk for low PA participation. Evidence indicates...
