OverviewAI-generated summary

Alexa Escapita's research focuses on early neurodevelopment in children, with a current emphasis on infants born to mothers with diabetes. Her work investigates the impact of maternal health conditions on infant development, employing a combination of neurodevelopmental assessment tools. Previously, her research explored the neurodevelopment of children diagnosed with congenital heart disease. Escapita's interests include magnetoencephalography, early neurodevelopmental trajectories, and the development and application of neurodevelopmental assessment tools. She has published on topics including inter-rater reliability in developmental assessments, multimodal developmental assessments for cerebral palsy prediction, and language development in children with critical congenital heart disease. Escapita collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Tara Johnson, Namarta Kapil, and Bittu Majmudar-Sheth.
