Abstract:

AbstractThe design of inclusive paediatric mobility (IPM) interventions, such as children's wheelchairs, are entangled with technological, health and social considerations. As narratives around childhood, disability and mobility shift and transform, these entanglements evolve. In order to optimise the experience of childhood mobility, IPM designers must understand and respond to such changes and channel children's own requirements, desires and 'dreams' into the design process; this can be achieved by utilising a child-centred design approach. This paper identifies meaningful child-centred IPM

Purpose As occupational therapists embrace evidence-informed and occupation-centred practice, the use of standardised visual perceptual tests remains a strong feature of typical paediatric practice. Yet, the research evidence for the use of such tools is inconclusive at best. This study compared the results of the Test of Visual Perceptual Skills (TVPS) with a checklist of reported functional difficulties in 30 children attending occupational therapy. The purpose of this paper was to determine the usefulness of visual perceptual testing in relation to occupation-centred practice. Design/method

Abstract:

The number of children with mental health problems is ever-growing; as a result, nearly 850,000 children in the UK are believed to have clinically significant problems, and only a quarter show evidence of mental illness. Family members often have a hard time dealing with children with mental health problems. As a result, digital mental health interventions are becoming popular for people seeking professional mental health services. Previous studies in this area have also shown that parents who are divorced or working away from home struggle to maintain contact with their children. This lack of

Abstract:

In this paper, the design process of a tangible game for a tabletop device (NIKVision) is presented. NIKVision is intended to give leisure and fun while reinforcing physical manipulation and co-located gaming for 3-6 year old children. Interaction is provided by the handling of conventional toys and computer augmentation on a table surface. The presence of an additional vertical monitor that complements table surface output is a distinguishing feature of NIKVision. By following a engineering design lifecycle, the paper describes the complete process of designing a Farm Game for the tabletop. C

Abstract:

Children lack awareness and understanding of their rights and the law. There is a need to address this gap and empower children to become advocates for their rights when they encounter law-related issues. A promising approach to achieving this is through the use of games. In particular, games focused on learning have evolved into novel tools that can raise awareness as well as help children acquire essential skills. In this paper, we present a child-centred design approach to evaluating the initial version of a learning game designed to help children across a wide age range (3-15 years) and wi

Abstract:

Background Without intervention and support, autistic children may have limited interactions with their peers in inclusive preschool settings, thus restricting the potential of this environment to support children’s learning and social development. Peer-mediated interventions (PMIs) include a variety of approaches which aim to support non-autistic and autistic children to interact with each other. Children have contributed little to the design and development of PMIs. This study aims to provide a qualitative, child-centred, description of the implementation of PMI, according to non-autistic pr

Abstract:

Student-centred science inquiry, and creative approaches to science, are both recommended in curricula for early years and primary education. In student-centred science inquiry, children learn to design simple investigations to address their own science questions. Creative approaches to science education involve supporting children in self-motivated imaginative activity, which generates knowledge that is of value to the child. Based on the literature, a conceptual framework of seven synergies between the two was developed by Cremin et al. (2015) categorized as Play and Exploration, Student Mot

The aim of this study was to explore how paediatric occupational therapists provide intervention for children with cerebral palsy in the United Kingdom. A survey design was used with a sample of 120 paediatric occupational therapists. The results of this study were representational of practice among members of the National Association of Paediatric Occupational Therapists. It was found that 91.7% of occupational therapists in this study used an eclectic treatment approach. Treatment was usually provided on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the individual needs of the child, and f

Fear of needles is common in childhood, with up to 50% being affected to some degree. In individuals who are dentally anxious, the prevalence may be as high as 91%. Fear of needles, and therefore intra-oral injections can have negative impacts on children’s quality of life and healthcare experiences, including a requirement for pharmacological methods to facilitate dental treatment. The aim of this study is to identify whether dentally anxious children report fear of injections and explore how these children experience a fear of needles in a dental setting.

Introduction: Participation is an important dimension of healthy child development and is associated with higher self-rated health, educational attainment and civic engagement. Many children with special healthcare needs (SHCN) experience limited participation and are thus at risk for adverse health and developmental outcomes. Despite this, interventions that promote participation in healthcare are scarce. We therefore evaluate the effectiveness of a complex age- and condition-generic intervention that strengthens participation-centred care involving parents and their children with SHCN by, in
