Do Occupational Therapy Goals for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Reflect Participation? A Mapping to the ICF - CY and ICF Core Sets Study.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is on the rise worldwide with an increasing acknowledgement that its continuum of care to enhance participation should be multidisciplinary. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) and its derivatives ICF - Children and Youth (ICF - CY) and ICF Core Sets have been increasingly used among health professionals to enhance communication and documentation of outcomes. This study aimed at investigating the comprehensiveness of the ICF - CY and ICF Core Sets with regard to occupational therapy goals and the extent of participation representation in these goals.

Sensory Modulation among Kindergarten Children in Jordan Based on Parents' Perceptions.

This study aimed to explore sensory processing abilities in kindergarten children based on parents' perceptions of their children's sensory functioning. Employing a non-probability sampling technique, parents of 957 typical kindergarteners (52% males, 48% females) aged between four and six years in Amman-Jordan were surveyed Arabic-Short Sensory Profile (A-SSP). Results showed that 37% and 24% of children exhibited definite difference and probable difference, respectively.

Determinants of functional mobility in children with cerebral palsy in three different environments: A registry-based study.

Background: Functional mobility in children with cerebral palsy (CP) varies widely and is affected by many factors related to the child and environment. Understanding this variability in child's natural environments: home, school, and community; and its determinants are important for effective child management.

Methods: This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the functional mobility of children with CP within home, school, and community, and explore its determinants.

Determinants of Manual Abilities of Children with Cerebral Palsy: A National Registry-Based Study.

Purpose: This cross-sectional study aimed to identify determinants of manual abilities of children with cerebral palsy (CP), as measured by the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS), in terms of intrinsic (child-related) and extrinsic (service-related) variables.

Methods: The participants were 106 children with a confirmed diagnosis of CP (aged 4-16 years). Two ordinal logistic regression models were conducted to identify intrinsic and extrinsic determinants of manual abilities.

Participation patterns and determinants of participation of young children with cerebral palsy.

Introduction: Understanding participation patterns of young children with cerebral palsy (CP) will enable occupational therapists to tailor family- and child-centred services. This study compares participation patterns and participation barriers of young children with CP with those of typically developing (TD) children. In addition, effect of age and gender on participation were examined as well as child-related determinants of participation for young children with CP.
