In-home standing and walking intervention
Parents/legal guardians will be educated on and provided an activity booklet on intensive standing and walking play activities for their infant in a 9 by 9 foot body-weight support system (BWS). Activities include: squatting play at a couch or table, cruising along and between furniture, walking with a push toy or with one or two hands held, walking without support, and kicking and throwing a soft ball. For 16 weeks, parents/legal guardians will be encouraged to implement the parent-led, intensive standing and walking intervention using BWS for at least 5 days/week for 30-60 min/day, with weekly telehealth calls and monthly home visits to coach parents in identifying key activities and progressing the program.
