Dr. Jump Norman’s interest and expertise is in early child development and health, parent-child relationships, and early care and education practices. She conducts a variety of projects designed to discover, develop, evaluate, and validate new knowledge, better intervention techniques, and more successful training procedures. Dr. Jump Norman is evaluating a SAMHSA project in Utah to better understand what intervention techniques work best for children who have experienced trauma. She has a contract with the Department of Defense to implement infant massage training and intervention on 5 military installations throughout the US.
