“…Results indicated that when supports and strategies were needed, the activity required more effort for participation on both the family's and the child's part. This concept of effort suggests a new avenue for evaluating the person-environment fit, which, according to ecological theory, reflects the relationship between a person's functional capacity and the demands that are produced by the environment (Bronfenbrenner, 1979;Rosenberg, Bart, Ratzon, & Jarus, 2013). If the person-environment fit is improved, the effort necessary to support participation by the family is reduced.…”

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to obtain caregivers’ perspectives on the impact of the sensory environment on participation in daily activities of their young children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Interviews were completed with 34 caregivers of children with ASD ages 3–7 yr. Results strongly suggest that parents and caregivers were pivotal in enabling participation for their children through the implementation of specific strategies and a parental decision-making process. The decision-making process considered amount of effort necessary to support participation and whether participation in a given activity was perceived as essential or nonessential. Strategies enabled participation and reduced the effort required to support the child’s participation. Strategies either directly related to the sensory factors of the environment or focused on reducing behavioral responses associated with sensory factors. In this study, we identified important considerations to enhance participation in the home and community environments for children with ASD.

“…It is widely reported that children and adolescents with DCD engage less in physically active recreational and leisure pursuits, both organised and free-play, compared to their typically developing peers [6,42,50,55,59]. Children with DCD are reported to spend more time in solitary playground activities [55,60].…”

“…However, the relationship should not be considered as strictly linear or causal [59]. Impairments may affect the individual's ability to perform daily activities and hinder participation, but not always, as contextual factors are equally important.…”

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is classified as a heterogeneous disorder of motor learning and functioning. The purpose of this paper is to critically analyse the current knowledge of DCD using the International Classification of Functioning and Disability Framework (ICF) model of disability. Since DCD is diagnosed on the basis of functional problems, we discuss the relationships between known activity limitations and participation restrictions, impairments of body structure and function, and contextual factors associated with these functional limitations. We conclude that the manifestation of both the primary and secondary problems seen in DCD are dependent on the integrity, capacity and adaptability of cognitive and neuromotor structures. We assert that personal and environmental factors either facilitate or restrict skill acquisition and learning. Understanding the interaction between individual and contextual factors is, thus, fundamental to designing interventions that address primary functional problems and ameliorate the development of health and psychosocial impairments in DCD.

“…It is well known that children who engage in physically active recreational and leisure pursuits, will develop better skills, compared to their non participating peers (Cairney, Hay, Veldhuizen, Missiuna, & Faught, 2010;Rosenberg, Bart, Ratzon, & Jarus, 2013). A higher educational level of mothers has been found to relate to more participation in physical activity and less DCD (Lingam, Hunt, Golding, Jongmans, & Emond, 2009).…”
