Professor Dale A. Ulrich has distinguished
himself as an international leader in adapted physical activity and
motor development since earning his Ph.D. degree at MSU in 1981. His
research on facilitating the motor development of young children with
Down syndrome has contributed to a better understanding of the
plasticity of human motor development, and has led to greater optimism
about the movement abilities and potential of persons with Down
syndrome. Dr. Ulrich is also well known as the author of the Test of
Gross Motor Development, a widely used test of the qualitative
attributes of fundamental motor skills. He has served as a faculty
member at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, Indiana
University, and currently at the University of Michigan, where he is
Professor of Movement Science and Director of the Down Syndrome Center.
Dr. Ulrich is the recipient of the Research Excellence Award from the
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation, the G. Lawrence Rarick
Research Award from the National Consortium on Physical Education and
Recreation for Individuals with Disabilities, the Teaching Excellence
Recognition Award from Indiana University, and the Teaching Excellence
Award from the Division of Kinesiology at the University of Michigan.
Furthermore, Dr. Ulrich has served as President of the North American
Federation on Adapted Physical Activity and Associate Editor of Adapted
