PARTICIPANTS NEEDED

Young Children with Cerebral Palsy,

Arthrogryposis or Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Did you know that children with severe cerebral palsy, arthrogryposis, spinal muscular atrophy and other disorders whose limited mobility prevents them from exploring their environment may be at risk for delays in how they learn, communicate, socialize and cope? We are doing a research study with young children with such conditions. The study will explore the effects of battery-operated wheelchairs on the development and functional skills of children when compared to similar children who do not receive the intervention.

Requirements: Participants must be 14- to 30-months of age, must be unable to walk, must have adequate vision and hearing, and must have the ability to learn to use a battery-operated wheelchair. 

Participation is voluntary.
