ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how babies with motor developmental delays respond to the Object Permanence Scale, which helps us understand how infants perceive objects in their environment. Researchers are looking for babies aged 7 to 16 months who can sit up for at least 3 seconds but have difficulty moving between sitting and other positions. These babies must also show some delays in their motor skills based on a specific assessment called the Bayley III.

If your baby meets these criteria, they could be eligible to participate in the trial. Participants will be evaluated at the start of the study and again after three months to see how they progress. It’s important to note that babies with certain medical conditions, such as severe vision problems, autism, Down syndrome, or uncontrolled seizure disorders, will not be included in this study. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it aims to gain insights that could help improve support for babies with developmental delays.
