“…If we have a good, in depth conversation we will uncover many such concerns—more than needed for our goal plan—and the Routines-Based Model is notorious for already having long lists of goals. The routines-based conversation is based on the well-known, evidence-based Routines-Based Interview (RBI) [ 9 , 10 , 11 ]. During this Routines-Based Conversation, if the child in question is old enough to participate meaningfully, this contribution can add to the richness of the discussion.…”

Background: While coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to spread across the globe, public health strategies—including the social distancing measures that many countries have implemented— have caused disruptions to daily routines. For children with disabilities and their families, such measures mean a lack of access to the resources they usually have through schools and habilitation or rehabilitation services. Health emergencies, like the current COVID-19 pandemic, require innovative strategies to ensure continuity of care. The objective of this perspective paper is to propose the adoption of two innovative strategies for teleintervention. Methods: The novel strategies include: (1) to apply the principles of the Routines-Based Model beyond the early years of development, and (2) to adopt My Abilities First—which is a novel educational tool promoting an abilities-oriented approach in healthcare encounters. Results: In the context of COVID-19, and using accessible language, the content of the paper highlights what is important for families and individuals with disabilities, and how the proposed novel strategies could be useful delivering remote support. Conclusions: The principles of the Routines-Based Model and My Abilities First are universal and facilitate collaborative, empathic, family-centered teleintervention for children and youth with disabilities during and post the COVID-19 lockdown.

“…The ecomap shows the family’s informal, intermediate, and formal supports (Hartman, 1995). The RBI is the Routines-Based Interview, used to assess children’s functional needs and family needs (Hughes-Scholes et al, 2017). Participation-based child goals emphasize children’s meaningful engagement in everyday routines, and family goals address family needs directly and indirectly related to the child (Boavida et al, 2014).…”
“…Considering daily routines and activities also allows researchers to understand the interdependence of children and parents within the family system (Bolger, Davis, & Rafaeli, 2003). In a study by Hughes-Scholes, Gavidia-Payne, Davis, and Mahar (2019), parents expressed concerns regarding how they might integrate interventions into their daily routines caring for their children with developmental disabilities. Caregivers found it difficult to carry out daily household tasks while also trying to integrate interventions into these daily activities (Hughes-Scholes et al, 2019).…”

Caregivers found it difficult to carry out daily household tasks while also trying to integrate interventions into these daily activities (Hughes-Scholes et al, 2019). For sustainable implementation of naturalistic interventions, researchers and practitioners must understand how family members work together within the daily household activities.…”

This study examined the daily routines and activities of Mexican-heritage mothers and their children with autism spectrum disorder. Experienced sampling methods were used to capture families’ current daily routines and activities, how parents valued those activities, and whether the activity was part of the child’s autism spectrum disorder intervention. A total of 32 mothers were texted five times per day over five consecutive days for a total of 721 observations. Mothers frequently engaged in Self-Care (e.g. showering), General Caregiving (e.g. cooking), and House Chores (e.g. laundry). Children engaged in activities in which interventions could easily be integrated (e.g. Academics, Self-Care, and Playing with Others). Families spent less than one-third (26.1%) of their activities participating in interventions. Mothers and children jointly spent time in General Caregiving, Playing with Others, and Using Electronics. Practitioners should focus on integrating evidence-based interventions into daily joint routine activities.
