Description d’un projet pilote d’ergothérapie pédiatrique en milieux de garde et communautaires

Abstract

Background. Occupational therapy interventions that promote and prevent children's health and well-being aim to reduce health inequalities and foster protective factors. The purpose of this study is to describe a pilot community-based occupational therapy project for preschoolers in partnership with community organizations and childcare services. Method. A participatory action research approach was implemented with support from an advisory committee. An occupational therapist provided community-based occupational therapy services in a tiered organization model over one year. Findings. Services were offered in three tiers: 7 awareness workshops for parents and caregivers (Tier 1), 57 visits and 27 consultations in 8 community agencies (Tier 2), and 23 individual follow-ups (Tier 3). Implications. There is an opportunity to implement with community agencies and daycare settings an occupational therapy service based on community-based rehabilitation for children under 5 years of age.

Proposed framework and knowledge synthesis of services delivered by specialized professionals in childcare settings: A scoping review

“…This model was developed for ECSE teachers and aimed to support children's development according to their intervention plans. Jackson et al (2009) and Beaudoin et al (2022) described multitiered service delivery models, which include a continuum of services to support the development of all children in an childcare setting and also offer more specific interventions for groups or children with specific needs.…”

“…In the documents describing multitiered models (Beaudoin et al, 2022; Jackson et al, 2009), several types of services were used. In the first tier of Jackson et al's (2009) model, SLPs recommended environmental modifications to early childhood educators to foster language development for all children.…”

“…Therefore, there is a need to develop service delivery models targeting all children, encompassing all developmental domains and including a variety of specialized professionals. Multitiered service delivery models described by Jackson et al (2009) and Beaudoin et al (2022) are the most adaptable and promising service delivery models to do this as they target all children. However, they do not yet cover all developmental domains or involve more than one profession.…”
