“…Through this study, we identified and described three primary dissemination strategies ( development and distribution of educational materials , educational meetings , and educational outreach visits ) that contributed to an increase in knowledge and awareness of the F‐words amongst families and SPs. Two of these strategies (development and distribution of educational materials, and educational outreach visits) were also identified by service providers in Soper et al's (2020b) study as being effective strategies to support the implementation of the F‐words in clinical practice. The alignment between Soper et al's (2020b) implementation strategies and the dissemination practices reported here further validates and justifies the work we have been doing to support the dissemination and implementation of the F‐words.…”

“…Practice and program changes at this level require both time and resources on behalf of the organization and thus must be driven from within the organization (Baumbusch et al, 2008). Working with local champions was also identified by Soper et al (2020b) as an important implementation strategy to support use of the F‐words in practice.…”

Background: There is growing interest in exploring how to move research findings into practice. Since 2014, a team of families and researchers has been working to promote and study the dissemination of the "F-words for Child Development" (Function, Family, Fitness, Fun, Friends, and Future). This case study describes our dissemination strategies and uses the Diffusion of Innovation theory to understand the factors contributing to the uptake of the F-words-a function-promoting, strengths-based, and family-centred innovation in child health and development.Methods: Between November 2011 and November 2021, we collected data from multiple sources: our dissemination strategies, including affiliated documents/ artefacts (e.g., videos and presentations) and evaluation data (e.g., surveys and Google/video analytics). We used a two-step analysis: (1) a chronological time series to describe the processes involved along with indicators of dissemination over time (e.g., increase knowledge and awareness); and (2) Diffusion of Innovation theory to explore the factors that contributed to the uptake of the F-words.Results: Multifaceted dissemination strategies were essential to raise awareness and increase families' and service providers' knowledge of the F-words. These included three primary strategies: (i) development and distribution of educational materials;(ii) presentations at educational meetings; and (iii) educational outreach visits. Additional strategies, such as the use of mass media, collaboration with early adopters/ champions, and the involvement of family members further supported dissemination efforts. Diffusion of Innovation factors (innovation characteristics, time, social systems, and communication channels) all contributed to the uptake of this innovation.Conclusions: Purposeful planned dissemination practice, to increase knowledge and awareness of an innovation, is an important step in the knowledge translation process. Over a period of 10 years, through the use of multiple dissemination strategies conducted in partnership with families and service providers, the F-words have spread globally. Diffusion of Innovation theory has served to help understand how and why the F-words are being shared and adopted around the world.

“…Such an approach is focused through a strengths-based lens and centred on meaningful goal-directed outcomes rather than discrete discipline specific outcomes only. [25][26][27][28][29] As noted earlier, school readiness encompasses a range inter-related key skill areas, highlighting the importance of a context specific interdisciplinary approach. Early intervention strategies and international recommendations for children with CP strongly support the need for therapies to be delivered within the home context and this is vitally important for babies and toddlers.…”

IntroductionPreschool aged children with cerebral palsy (CP) and like conditions are at risk of performing below their peers in key skill areas of school readiness. Kindy Moves was developed to support school readiness in preschool aged children with CP and like conditions that are dependent on physical assistance and equipment throughout the day. The primary aims are to determine the feasibility of motor-based interventions that are functional and goal directed, adequately dosed and embedded into a play environment with interdisciplinary support to optimise goal-driven outcomes.Methods and analysisForty children with CP and like conditions aged between 2 and 5 years with a Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level of III–V or equivalent, that is, dependent on physical assistance and equipment will be recruited in Western Australia. Participants will undertake a 4-week programme, comprised three, 2-hour sessions a week consisting of floor time, gross motor movement and play (30 min), locomotor treadmill training (30 min), overground walking in gait trainers (30 min) and table-top activities (30 min). The programme is group based with 3–4 children of similar GMFCS levels in each group. However, each child will be supported by their own therapist providing an interdisciplinary and goal directed approach. Primary outcomes of this feasibility study will be goal attainment (Goal Attainment Scale) and secondary outcomes will include Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, 10 metre walk test, Children’s Functional Independence Measure, Sleep Disturbance Scale, Infant and Toddler Quality of Life Questionnaire, Peabody Developmental Motor Scale and Gross Motor Function Measure. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, post intervention (4 weeks) and retention at the 4-week follow-up.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval was obtained from Curtin University Human Ethics Committee (HRE2019-0073). Results will be disseminated through published manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals, conference presentations and public seminars for stakeholder groups.Trial registration numberAustralian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12619000064101p).
