Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate infants ages 0-6 months of age before and after an 8 week developmental and educational "caregiver and baby" interactive program as well as 3 month following the conclusion of the program. The researchers aim to screen and identify developmental delays and the effects of the 8 week program on gross motor development as well as explore parent perceptions of the program. The aim of this study is to assess the physical, social, and emotional outcomes of an interactive group program for infants 0-6 months and their families/caregiver.
