Development Coordination Disorder

Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a prevalent and serious neuro-developmental condition characterized by problems with fine and/or gross motor coordination that result in impairment in everyday functioning, play, and academic achievement. On average, DCD affects 1 to 2 children in each classroom. The INCH lab has been following a cohort of children with annual assessments of physical activity, body composition, health-related fitness, and motor skills.

Physical Literacy & Activity

Physical literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge, and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life (The International Physical Literacy Association). An understanding of physical literacy can help individuals participate in physical activities and gain associated health benefits. The INCH lab is working to develop interventions to help increase physical literacy and activity in children and adolescents.

Mental Health & Wellbeing

The transition into emerging adulthood is often considered the first major life transition, representing a period for which individuals acquire greater autonomy and some characteristics of adulthood without fully reaching the milestones that socially define contemporary adulthood. This time period is associated with many changes and a time where the onset of mental health challenges often occur. At the INCH lab, we are committed to better understand mental health and wellbeing in order to develop interventions in this space.
