Invited Podcast Reports on Environmental Impact on Young Children’s Participation

It’s been an exciting month for the CPERL team at UIC! This April, Dr. Mary Khetani and CPERL alum Dr. Erin Albrecht published a study in the journal of Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology. This study found that caregiver perceptions of environmental support within the home mediated the relationship between factors related to a child and the child’s family and the child’s level of involvement in home-based activities. The journal invited Dr. Khetani to create a short podcast to introduce this new publication as well as to comment on next steps. Click here to view this podcast, including an introduction to Dr. Jessica Jarvis, a new postdoctoral associate in CPERL, who will build on these results within the scope of a longitudinal study involving critically ill children.
