L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.
Objectives. To determine the feasibility of recruiting families of children with suspected 7 or diagnosed developmental coordination disorder (sdDCD) and explore their satisfaction 8 with a webplatform aimed at supporting them. 9Design. A feasibility randomized trial was needed before conducting a full trial. 10Participants were parents of children aged 5-12 years old with sdDCD. The intervention 11 group had access to online resources, group and private forums, and videoconferencing 12 with a therapist. Main outcomes were the recruitement and retention rates. Satisfaction 13 was documented through a post-intervention survey and interview. 14 Results. Recruitment rate was 7 participants/month (n=28 participants) and retention rate 15 was 68%. Satisfaction was moderate. Participants formulated various recommendations 16 for improving the intervention, including targeting families earlier in the diagnosis 17 process, and pre-scheduling meetings with therapists. 18
Conclusions.Results demonstrated the feasibility of future trials evaluating 19 webplatforms aimed at supporting children with sdDCD. Improvement areas were 20 identified to ensure greater relevance of the intervention.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
