Promoting agency and communication through powered mobility: a single-group, repeated measures intervention using the explorer mini in toddlers with motor disabilities

These findings suggest that introducing powered mobility during the toddler period can foster agency, exploration, and communication, catalyzing developmental growth beyond motor function alone. By providing young children with the means to move independently, powered mobility may open new pathways for participation, learning, and connection, laying critical groundwork for more equitable developmental opportunities in early childhood.
