Effect of Early Intervention on Developmental Domains and Parent–Child Interaction Among Children With Developmental Delay: A Randomized Controlled Study

The GAME-based intervention for children with DD, including sensory and cognitive activities, is effective in improving developmental domains and parent-child interactions. Plain-Language Summary: The scope of early intervention programs mostly focuses on motor skills and needs to be expanded to include the essential roles of children's sensory and cognitive abilities. This study provides important insights into early interventions by occupational therapists and the impact on children with developmental delay and parent-child interactions. We found that the Goal Activity and Motor Enrichment (GAME) intervention for children with developmental delay, which includes sensory and cognitive activities, is effective in improving developmental domains and parent-child interactions.
