New infant therapy aims to boost motor skills in At-Risk babies
NCT ID NCT07596147
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new early intervention program called SAFE for high-risk infants (3-12 months old) who may have developmental delays. The program focuses on activities to improve arm, hand, and fine motor skills through play and daily routines. Researchers will compare SAFE to standard therapy to see which works better for motor development and quality of life.
