Introduction Wolfram Syndrome (WFS) is a rare genetic disease associated with a variety of progressive metabolic and neurologic impairments. Previous research has focused on WFS-related impairments and biomarkers for disease progression; however, information about how WFS impacts participation in daily activities is lacking. Methods WFS (n=45; 20 children, 25 adults) participants completed an online questionnaire about activity participation. Thirty-six non-WFS comparison participants (11 children; 25 adults) completed a portion of the questionnaire. Symptom data from a subset of WFS participants (n=20) were also examined in relation to participation data. Results WFS children and adults had lower participation than non-WFS children and adults in almost all activity domains, and social and exercise-related activities were the most problematic. In the subset of WFS adults with symptom data, poorer vision, balance, gait, hearing, and overall symptom severity related to lower participation. Conclusions WFS appears to negatively impact participation in a variety of activities, and this effect may increase as people age and/or WFS progresses. The most functionally-pertinent WFS symptoms are those associated with neurodegeneration especially vision loss and walking and balance problems. This study revealed symptoms and activity domains that are most relevant for people with WFS and, thus, can inform current practice and treatment development research.

“…ACS take little time to complete and do not require high levels of education or English fluency compared with other assessments (Baum & Edwards, 2008;Berg & LaVesser, 2006). ACS have been developed for adults and older children to measure satisfaction and engagement in activities (Berg & LaVesser, 2006;Berg, McCollum, Cho, & Jason, 2015).…”

Early intervention (EI) therapy services aim to address family-centered goals to facilitate young children’s development and participation in meaningful life activities. Current methods to evaluate children in EI assess discrete developmental skills but provide little information on the child’s ability to successfully incorporate that skill in everyday life. Furthermore, traditional measures have limited opportunity for parent report, despite parent engagement being a critical component for successful implementation of EI services. A measure that involves parents in the therapeutic process to track family-driven EI goals related to a child’s occupational engagement in meaningful family activities and routines is desperately needed. Using a qualitative design and conventional content analysis, we identified 41 distinct activities of infant–toddlers from a cohort of 23 caregivers. Activity items were matched with photographs and validated with experts in pediatric rehabilitation using the Delphi method. The resulting 40 activity/photograph pairs were used to develop a new measure of pediatric occupational engagement, the Infant Toddler Activity Card Sort (ITACS).

“…He communicates verbally but has difficulty fully expressing his ideas. As a part of his triennial IEP evaluation, the occupational therapist completed the Adolescent and Young Adult Activity Card Sort (AYA-ACS, Berg, McCollum, Cho, & Jason, 2015); the Transition Planning Inventory (TPI), Home and Student Forms (Patton & Clark, 2014); and the AIR Self-Determination Scale, Parent and Student Forms (Wolman, Campeau, DuBois, Mithaug, & Stolarski, 1994). The occupational therapist facilitated completion of the TPI Student Form and the AIR Self-Determination Scale Student Form by clarifying test items, providing structured verbal prompting and encouragement, and providing strategies to improve P’s visual attention to the paper rating form.…”

“…K is able to make a choice between familiar items when given a communication board with familiar pictures. The occupational therapist involved in K’s pre-employment transition services attempted to administer the Adolescent and young Adult Activity Card Sort (AYA-ACS, Berg, McCollum, Cho, & Jason, 2015) to better understand her participation, interests, and goals. The occupational therapist asked K’s mother and teacher complete AIR Self-Determination Scale - Parent Form and Teacher Forms (Wolman, Campeau, DuBois, Mithaug, & Stolarski, 1994) to understand how K is demonstrating self-determination at home and at school.…”

School-based occupational therapists are well-equipped to prepare adolescents to transition from the education system to work and live in their communities, but they report challenges in securing their place on post-secondary transition planning teams. We argue that occupational therapists’ efforts to advocate for their role in post-secondary transition could be strengthened by a deeper engagement with what is considered ‘best practice’ in transition planning: improving students’ ability and opportunity to exercise self-determination. In this commentary, we review the self-determination evidence-base; identify congruence between the underlying philosophies of self-determination and occupational therapy; and highlight gaps in existing self-determination models that occupational therapists are uniquely posed to fill by focusing on self-determination as they support transition age students.
