The FACT model consisting of didactic lessons and hands-on practice was developed to strengthen interns' competencies in identifying parental concerns related to children's goals, writing goals using GAS format, and collaborating with caregivers in implementation of interventions. The interns' perceptions of their family-centered behaviors were measured using the Chinese version of the \"Measure of Processes of Care-Service Provider\" (C-MPOC-SP). Children's occupational performance was rated using the \"Canadian Occupational Performance Measure\" (COPM).Results: Interns who received the FACT model demonstrated a significant increase in the Showing Interpersonal Sensitivity and Treating People Respectfully scales of C-MPOC-SP compared to the comparison group. The ratings of caregivers who received the FACT model increased significantly for children's performance, but not for satisfaction with performance.Conclusions: The family-centered teaching model implemented in the internship increased interns' perception toward more family-centeredness and children's occupational performance.","PeriodicalId":49138,"journal":{"name":"Physical & Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144545779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The initial assumption of this study was that children with ASD would present low opportunities for motor stimulation as observed in children with typical development, and that richer motor affordance contexts (higher movement opportunities) would be associated with higher socioeconomic status and parents' education.Methods: 52 guardians of children of both sexes diagnosed with ASD participated in the investigation. The Childhood Autism Assessment Scale was used to classify the level of ASD, and the Affordances for Motor Behavior of Schoolchildren (AMBS) to analyze affordances in children's main environments. The statistical analysis was performed using univariate and multivariate analysis and a logistic regression model.Results: The findings indicate that children with ASD have low opportunities for motor stimulation. Multivariate analysis showed this is particularly noticeable in families with lower income levels. Also, materials made available for children with ASD usually do not encourage gross motor skills, which does not help to prevent their sedentary lifestyle.Conclusion: Better knowledge about the opportunities for motor stimulation of children with ASD can help to create individualized strategies that support their caregivers and improve children's developmental outcomes.","PeriodicalId":49138,"journal":{"name":"Physical & Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144508990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bilateral wrist-worn accelerometers measured bimanual performance using use ratio, bilateral magnitude, and median acceleration. Self-perceived performance was measured using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), and upper extremity (UE) capacity with Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT), Nine-Hole Peg Test (NHPT), and Box and Block Test (BBT). Predictors such as age, sex, affected side, severity levels, and baseline capacity were analyzed.Results: Use ratio (p = .02) and median acceleration (p = .04) showed improvements, indicating enhanced real-world performance.

Three triads questioned the youth's understanding of the YET. Parents agreed that S1 and S2 were acceptable. Three PTs disagreed that S2 was an appropriate scope/depth. Five triads questioned the YET's length and repetitiveness. Youth and PTs reported that the YET was relevant. Perhaps due to previous transition planning experience, some parents reported not learning new information by completing the YET. Parents' and PTs' ratings were aligned, suggesting a common experience using the YET.Conclusions: Results of this pilot study suggest that the YET has promise as a feasible, acceptable, and relevant transition planning instrument.
