Review: The impact of motor development on typical and atypical social cognition and language: a systematic review
Hayley C. Leonard, Elisabeth L. Hill
First Published: 08 February 2014

Key Practitioner Message

Significant relationships exist between the development of motor skills, social cognition, language and social interactions in typical and atypical development
Practitioners should be aware of the relationships between these aspects of development and understand the impact that early motor difficulties may have on later social skills
Complex relationships between motor and social skills are evident in children with ASD, DCD and SLI
Early screening and more targeted interventions may be appropriate
