The first part of this programme aims to study the influence of different environmental or organic factors on the psychomotor
development of the child.  Examples include 1/ The influence of screens on psychomotor development, 2/ The influence of abuse on
psychomotor development, 3/ The influence of repeated trauma on psychomotor development in the DRC.

It is taking the form of collaboration with the DRC and UEA (Université Evangélique d'Afrique de Bukavu) as part of ARES-PFS
funding for the ‘creation of a complementary master's degree in psychomotricity - psycho-trauma option’ at UEA, involving the
supervision of three PhD students in this context (starting in September 2022).

The second part of this line of research focuses on the influence of pre-locomotor strategies on later cognitive and psychomotor
development. 
It is being carried out as part of a doctoral thesis by Ms Erell Filloque.

The third dimension of this theme is linked to clinical research carried out in collaboration with the Erasme Hospital. Firstly,
with its neonatal department: Influence of babywearing on the child's motor skills and the mother-child relationship.  But also
with the CRFNI at Erasme.  
He is more specifically interested in children with pervasive developmental disorders. He is studying the influence of
psychomotor care on shared attention skills in children with pervasive developmental disorders.
