Abstract

Date Presented 4/17/2015

This study investigated early power mobility using adapted ride-on-toys in toddlers with disabilities. Improvements were seen in cognitive, social, and self-care domains on standardized measures. Early power mobility using adapted ride-on-toys may yield positive changes in key areas of development.
