Our Mission

The mission of the Health and Adaptive Recreation Therapy (HEART) Lab is to advance understanding of how physical activity, motor learning, and inclusive recreation influence physical, cognitive, and psychosocial health across the lifespan. We aim to develop, implement, and evaluate evidence-based, community-engaged interventions that promote health, functional independence, and quality of life, with particular emphasis on individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, older adults, and other underserved populations.
