By Kellie Mooney, February 17, 2022

Baby, Toddler, Child Lab Days

Join the fun!  Babies (newborn to 1 year), toddlers/preschoolers, and school-aged children (5-12 years) are needed for lab sessions in the physical therapy (PT) course ‘Motor Development through the Lifespan’.

Please consider bringing your child for one or more fun sessions with graduate Physical Therapy students who plan to observe and test different aspects of your child’s motor development.

You may be with your child during the entire lab.  Three PT instructors plan to guide the small group of students during the labs. Your child will receive a $20 Amazon gift card per lab session your child participates in.

 All the labs are held in the Center for Health Sciences (CHS), room 207. If you require parking, please let us know as we plan have a few spaces assigned near the building or we now have additional visitor parking. Take Ithaca College’s main entrance off of 96B then take the first right and then immediately take another right into the Visitor Parking lot.  CHS is across the street and up the hill right beside Smiddy Hall.  Come in the main door and follow the Motor Development Lab signs.

The baby labs (newborn to 12 months) are scheduled for Tuesday, March 1st   at 10:15-11:15; 1:15- 2:15; and 3:15-4:15.   You may choose to participate in one, two, or all three lab sessions held on the same day with three different groups of students.

The toddler/preschool aged labs (13 months to 5 years) are scheduled for Tuesday, March 29th at 10:15-11:30, 1:15-2:30, and 3:15-4:30pm.  You may choose to participate in one, two, or all three lab sessions held on the same day with three different groups of students.

The school-aged child labs (5- 12 years) are scheduled for Tuesday, April 12th at 10:15-11:30, 1:15-2:30, and 3:15-4:30pm.  You may choose to participate in one, two, or all three lab sessions held on the same day with three different groups of students.
