Limitations of these materials include:

• the focus is only on outcomes of motor function, self-care, participation, enjoyment and playfulness and determinants that we perceive to be amenable to change
• a brief measure of adaptive behaviour is not yet available

Suggestions on how these presentations can be used:

• Self-study
• Group In-services: lead by a "local champion": possibly a half-day session for measures and a separate half-day for use of model testing results
• Between these sessions, individual therapists could collect data using the measures on one or more child on his / her caseload for "case illustrations" at the model testing session
• The conceptual model might "open up" ideas about what services might include

Further recommendations for Pediatric Physical Therapy Curriculum based on the findings of the Move & PLAY study.

We are interested in hearing from you about the potential utility of this package of information in your setting. Please contact us through the CanChild email.
