Abstract
Date Presented 04/22/2023
This research explored the inclusion of the PedsQL in pediatric rehabilitation to support the therapy process and determine whether inclusion enriches therapy by painting a better picture of the child’s true changes in performance over time. A brief survey was administered to therapists (N = 14) to determine feasibility, acceptability, and barriers to implementation of the PedsQL. Significant differences were found when OT and physical therapy were compared with ST with usage of the PedsQL in therapy.
