Learn By Doing
The Motor Development Clinic
Learn by doing is embedded in programs across campus, and the kinesiology department is no exception with the Motor Development Clinic. Since 1979, the clinic, located in Kellogg Gym, has been dedicated to improving children's motor skills and helping them fine-tune their cooperation, attention, and social skills. In 2023, the clinic started incorporating a new fitness-based program for adults with disabilities.
