ATSU Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy departments host annual baby lab
Posted: August 19, 2025Students from A.T. Still University-Arizona School of Health Sciences' (ATSU-ASHS) Physical Therapy (PT) and Occupational Therapy (OT) departments joined together for a day of interprofessional collaboration and education during the annual baby lab on the Mesa, Arizona, campus.
Working in small groups, students observed 18 children as they played with toys, rolled, crawled, walked, and interacted with other children, caregivers, and students. Following the observation period, students analyzed each child's fine and gross motor skills, identifying developmental sequences and patterns.
This interprofessional lab offered a unique learning opportunity for the students, who spent the prior few weeks of the semester learning about motor development skills and the role of reflexes in early growth.
