April has been an exciting month for our lab! 🌟 We want to celebrate Dr. Kari Kretch, principal investigator of the Learning Development & Rehabilitation Lab, for publishing her work on everyday positioning in infants with and without cerebral palsy.
Dr. Kretch utilized text message surveys to gain an accurate picture of what infants are doing at random intervals throughout the day, over two weeks of activity. Through her work, we learned that infants with cerebral palsy spend considerably more time lying on their backs, and considerably less time standing, compared to same-aged typically developing infants.

Here are some quick highlights of presentations from our lab members this spring! 🌟 From SoCal Minds to Dentistry Day, the Undergraduate Symposium, to the ASN Annual Conference, we are excited to share our latest advances & future directions in infant motor development. We’re so proud of our team for representing the lab and contributing to important conversations! 👏

This month, we had the joy of hosting wonderful families for a Family Park Day in honor of World Down Syndrome Day! 💙💛 Families swapped children’s books, enjoyed board games, and spent the afternoon playing with hula hoops, balls, and bubbles. Together, we also painted a special banner to commemorate the date we celebrated our Family Park Day! 🎨

We’re so grateful to the families who continue to support our lab — your presence makes this community so meaningful. We hope to see you all again soon! 🌼
