This research study sought to understand parent perspectives on their child’s long-term therapy needs. This study utilized participatory action research (PAR). A shared decision-making tool was developed and tested as a method for enhancing collaborative conversations between the parent and therapist about a long-term therapy plan. Use of PAR was effective in allowing parents and therapists to cocreate a change regarding long-term therapy planning for children with chronic conditions.

Children experiencing challenges with sensory processing and integration often receive OT services to improve functional performance. However, information about the long-term effectiveness of OT intervention for children with sensory challenges is limited. The purpose of this study was to explore whether children were able to maintain improvements after OT services ended and to understand parent perspectives of OT using a sensory integration approach.
