Importance of Research-based Interventions • Doman-Delacato Repatterning • Ontogeny recapitulates Phylogeny • Crawling, creeping, crude walking, mature walking • Reproduce evolutionary patterns of amphibian to reptilian to human • Clearly discredited by numerous research studies, yet the practice continues: Institutes for Advancement of Human Potential and National Association for Child Development • American Academy of Pediatrics (1984 and 1999) recommended alerting new physicians to program to avoid errors of past and noted absolute lack of scientific research supporting repatterning.
