Dr. Fears and the Human Development & Daily Life (HuDDL) Lab study how neurodivergent and neurotypical people develop. Specifically, we are interested in how complex relationships between motor, sensory, and cognitive processes impact the performance of activities of daily living, such as feeding, dressing, and playing games in development, especially autistic development. We use our research findings to improve the lives of neurodivergent people by adapting their environments and providing support for them to achieve their goals. Our research has been funded in part by the Department of Defense, Maternal Child Health Bureau, and Blue Cross Blue Shield.
