This presentation will provide an overview of mastery motivation, examine population metrics of the Dimensions of Mastery Questionnaire (DMQ 18) for children at high risk for developmental delays, and provide recommendations for early interventionists or parents to assist in improving overall ability by encouraging mastery motivation. This research is most applicable to those in early intervention or OTs assessing infants or toddlers in NICU follow-up clinics.
