Abstract
  • Many children with developmental disabilities are not engaging in the recommended amount of daily physical activity (Pan, 2008; Shields, Dodd, & Abblitt, 2009; Whitt-Glover et al., 2006), which can lead to additional health disparities and decreased quality of life for children in this population (Field & Jette, 2007). The relationship between gross motor skills and physical activity levels has been well documented among typically developing peers (Okeley et al., 2001; Wrotniak et al., 2006; Gross, 2009), yet research is scare regarding information pertaining to this relationship among children with developmental disabilities. This investigation provides needed insight into the gross motor skills and physical activity patterns of children with developmental disabilities and outlines future direction regarding increasing the health of this population.
