Research summary
AI-generated

Jill Heathcock's research focuses on early rehabilitation and motor development for infants and children with cerebral palsy and related neuromotor conditions, including those who have had a perinatal stroke. Her work includes designing and running clinical trials of early intervention programs (often parent-delivered, home-based), developing new ways to measure infant movement (such as pose-estimation technology and standardized motor assessments), and studying how much and what type of therapy children receive. This research is aimed at improving how clinicians and families support motor skill development in young children with disabilities.
