“…The demographic descriptors of the participants in each of the studies, and the levels of severity for the particular conditions, are shown in Table . Two studies included children with cerebral palsy, one included children with developmental coordination disorder, and four included participants with a variety of conditions . Of these, one study included children with intellectual disabilities of varying origins, but excluded children with co‐existing autism or cerebral palsy .…”

“…The range of interventions, dependent variables, and participation outcome measures utilized by the included studies are displayed in Table . Although the study investigators were often from interdisciplinary backgrounds, one paper was primarily conducted by educators, one by psychologists, three by physical therapists, and two by occupational therapists . Two studies investigated the effect of individually tailored programmes providing coaching, mentoring, support, and education on engagement in educational planning or activity participation, and one explored the effect of group drama‐based social skills training …”

CAPEChildren's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment RCT Randomized controlled trial AIM Enhancement of participation has been described as the ultimate outcome for health and educational interventions. The goal of this systematic review was to identify and critically appraise studies that aimed to improve the participation outcomes of children with disabilities.METHOD Nine databases that index literature from the fields of health, psychology, and education were searched to retrieve information on research conducted with children with disabilities aged between 5 years and 18 years. Articles were included if the author(s) reported that participation was an intended outcome of the intervention. The articles included were limited to those reporting high-level primary research, as defined by Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council evidence hierarchy guidelines. No restrictions were placed on the type of intervention being investigated.RESULTS Seven randomized controlled or pseudo-randomized studies were included. Only three of these studies identified participation as a primary outcome. Both individualized and group-based approaches to enhancing participation outcomes appeared to be effective. Studies of interventions with a primary focus on body function or activity level outcomes did not demonstrate an effect on participation outcomes.

“…Seven studies were RCTs or pseudo-RCTs. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26] The remaining 18 were either comparative studies without concurrent control groups (including interrupted time series [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] or case series [38][39][40][41][42][43][44] ).

ICFInternational Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health QOL Quality of life PODCI Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument RCT Randomized controlled trial AIM Improving participation of children with disabilities is a priority; however, the participation construct lacks clarity. This systematic review investigated how researchers defined 'participation' and the language used in participation intervention research.METHOD Nine health and education databases were searched for intervention studies of children with disabilities that included a participation outcome. Quantitative data were extracted using a customized form, and participation text data were extracted verbatim. Themes were derived using a thematic coding approach. These participation themes were applied to the outcome measures used in the included studies to compare participation language with the methods used to quantify participation changes. RESULTSOf the 2257 articles retrieved, 25 were included in this review. Five participation themes and nine subthemes were developed. Two themes, attendance and involvement, were directly related to the participation construct. Three additional themes described related concepts: preferences, activity competence, and sense of self.INTERPRETATION Attendance and involvement seem to describe the essence of the participation concept. The related themes may provide important avenues to enhance participation outcomes. This review highlighted the need for researchers to define the construct under investigation clearly and select measures carefully, as measurement choice is the mechanism through which the concept is operationalized in research.The publication of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) has resulted in an intensification of international interest in 'participation' as the ultimate health outcome. 1,2 The ICF defines participation as 'involvement in a life situation' 2 participation restriction is defined as 'problems an individual may experience in involvement in life situations'.2 Because there is no universal acceptance of the definition of participation, a discourse in the literature has developed about how to operationalize the concept. 3,4 This is critical, because without clarity about the concept, defining outcome goals and developing scales and measures to assess participation outcomes will remain open to question as to whether the measures are fit for purpose.One part of the complexity of the conceptual issue is the fact that the World Health Organization did not clearly distinguish between activity and participation within their classification system, offering authors four methods for determining when participation rather than activity was being classified.1,2 This lack of distinction provides ample opportunity for varied interpretations of the concept under investigation and hence varied approaches to measurement, 5 leading to imprecision and confusion in what is found and reported.Several authors describe particip...
