In no time newborns, who can barely lift up their head, change into briskly toddlers that can run, jump, and climb. How babies and young children acquire motor skills, is a question that keeps me busy in my research. Next to that, I want understand how children learn motorically even if their motor development isn\u2019t progressing as one would hope, which is for instance the case with children who have Cerebral Palsy (CP) or Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the moment, I am working at a project in which we want to find out whether new equipment can be used to track children\u2019s movements in their own homes or at school. Especially there they learn all sorts of new motor skills, such as crawling and handwriting, and for us, it is important to measure motor learning at those locations where they actually learn new moves. Next to that, I am still looking for children from 8 up until 11 years of age for my research on learning to move. We are looking for children both with a DCD diagnosis, and for children without such a diagnosis.
