Affordances for Motor Development in the Home Environment for Young Children with and without CHARGE Syndrome

Affordances in the home environment are critical to early motor development. Currently, the home environment has not been examined in children with deafblindness or severe disabilities. The present study examined differences in, and relationships between, the home environment and motor development i...

Currently, the home environment has not been examined in children with deafblindness or severe disabilities. The present study examined differences in, and relationships between, the home environment and motor development in children with and without CHARGE syndrome. CHARGE syndrome is a low-incidence, complex disorder with sensory and motor impairments. Participants included 28 parents of children with CHARGE syndrome and 32 parents of children without disabilities. Children with CHARGE syndrome achieved motor milestones significantly later and had fewer outside space affordances than children without disabilities. Older children had a greater variety of stimulation and fine motor toys, and those that achieved independent walking later had more outside space and fine and gross motor toys. Early experiences may be more important for children with CHARGE syndrome than children without disabilities. Moreover, parents can play a vital role in their children’s motor development to help them reach their motor milestones.Pamela BeachMelanie PerreaultLauren LiebermanMDPI AGarticlemotor developmentdisabilitydeafblindnessmotor skillsMedicineRENInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Vol 18, Iss 11936, p 11936 (2021)

Affordances for Motor Development in the Home Environment for Young Children with and without CHARGE Syndrome
description Affordances in the home environment are critical to early motor development. Currently, the home environment has not been examined in children with deafblindness or severe disabilities.
