“…According to the WHO, 13 restrictions to participation can occur due to child factors, considering his or her capacity to perform a task, or factors related to the physical and social environment that influence performance, that is, what the child does in a natural context. 25 Research has also indicated that all children’s participation is influenced by age, sex and income. 25–30 …”

ObjectivesParticipation refers to a person’s involvement in activities and roles that provide interaction with others as well as engagement in family and community activities. Young children with developmental disabilities (DD) such as attention deficit hyperactive disorder, autism spectrum disorder and developmental coordination disorder are limited in their participation compared with their typically developing peers. This study aimed to obtain information regarding parental needs and strategies used to enable their child’s participation.DesignA thematic inductive approach with in-depth interviews was used to explore parental experiences. Eleven women and two men, between 30 and 40 years of age, who had a child (4–9 years old) with a DD diagnosis based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders criteria, participated in semistructured interviews.ResultsTwo central themes emerged: parental needs and parental strategies used to enable their child’s participation. Parental needs were the following: increasing awareness, ameliorating parental burden, providing tailored interventions and supporting parents in finding suitable leisure activities. Parental strategies aimed at increasing their child’s resiliency, attaining maximal fit between activity requirements and child capacity, and creating inclusive opportunities and awareness.ConclusionsUnderstanding what families’ needs are and how families use and integrate strategies within the context of their daily lives provides practitioners with insights needed to support families’ resiliency in promoting their children’s participation. The results have implications for professionals as this information can be used to inform, refine, or tailor participation-based and family-centred services.

“…Over the past two decades, the International Classification of Functioning (henceforth abbreviated as ICF [39]) has been disseminated in the scientific fields of health, rehabilitation, education and special education as a conceptually robust and an ecologically valid instrument which serves multiple purposes [13,16,24,33]. This tool is based on the biopsychosocial model and constitutes a comprehensive guide that contributes to the understanding οf the dynamic interplay among the numerous individual and environmental factors of health and well-being.…”
