Promoting Motor Development in Infants and Toddlers Through Education and Early Detection

A structured series of age-specific educational workshops designed for parents, caregivers, and early childhood educators of children aged 0-36 months. The workshops are organized into three cohorts (0-12 months, 13-24 months, 25-36 months) and focus on typical motor milestones, active play, early stimulation strategies, and recognition of early warning signs of motor delays. Sessions include interactive activities, discussions, and distribution of educational resources. Pre- and post-workshop surveys and semi-structured interviews are conducted to evaluate changes in knowledge and attitudes.

Comprehensive motor development assessments performed on infants aged 0-36 months using validated tools (Standardized Infant Hand Assessment \[s-HAI\], Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination \[HINE\], Infant Motor Profile \[IMP\], and Ages and Stages Questionnaire \[ASQ-3\]). These evaluations aim to collect normative data on typical early motor development and to identify early signs of motor delays or neurological conditions, enabling timely referral and intervention. Assessments are conducted annually for typically developing infants and monthly for those identified as at risk.
