“…Three assessed motor-based skills during engagement in the school setting (Chien, Brown & McDonald, 2010; Kuijper, van der Wilden, Ketelaar & Gorter, 2010; Munkholm, Berg, Lofgren & Fisher, 2010). The remaining measured Participation of school functioning, leisure activity, overall occupational performance and quality of life (Hwang & Davies, 2009; Kramer, Kielhofner & Smith, 2010; Rosenblum, Sachs & Schreuer, 2010; Weintraub & Bar-Haim Erez, 2009). Kramer et al contributed to the psychometric evidence of the Child Occupational Self Assessment (COSA), an instrument in which the child rates activities based on perceived personal competence and importance.…”

We conducted a systematic review focusing on articles in the occupational therapy practice category of Children and Youth published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy over the 2-yr period of 2009–2010. We used the frameworks of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and Positive Youth Development (PYD) to explore occupational therapy research progress toward the goals of the Centennial Vision. We organized 46 research articles by research type and classified them within these two frameworks. Most reviewed published research investigated variables representing constructs falling within the ICF domains of Body Functioning and Activity. The effect of occupational therapy interventions on PYD resided primarily in building competence. To meet the tenets of the Centennial Vision, occupational therapists must document changes in children’s engagement in everyday life situations and build the evidence of occupational therapist’s efficacy in facilitating participation.

“…The eight measures were: the Children Helping Out: Responsibilities, Expectations, and Supports (CHORES) (Dunn 2004), the Paediatric Activity Card Sort (PACS) (Mandich et al 2004), the Paediatric Interest Profile (PIP) (Henry 2000), the Children's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment/Preferences for Activities of Children (CAPE/PAC) (King et al 2004), the School Function Assessment-Participation section (SFA-P) (Coster et al 1998), the Children Participation Questionnaire (CPQ) (Rosenberg et al 2010), the Children's Leisure Assessment Scale (CLASS) (Rosenblum et al 2010) and the Preschool Activity Card Sort (Preschool ACS) (Berg & LaVesser 2006). In addition, the LIFE-H did not achieve the predetermined rate but very close to the percentage of 60%.…”

Many interventions have been used to improve children's hand-related impairments or hand skill performance in functional activities so as to promote life participation. There is thus a need to have suitable instruments assessing children's participation in life situations that specifically require hand use in order to support and evaluate such interventions. This systematic review investigated the availability of potential instruments that can be used to assess children's participation specifically in life situations requiring hand use. Clinical utility and evidence for psychometric properties were also sourced. Database searches initially identified measures that were used to evaluate participation of children aged 2-12 years, involved self- or proxy report or interview administration and had generic application for a range of disabilities/diagnoses. These measures were further evaluated to determine if they fulfilled the above inclusion criteria and contained at least 60% of the items involving hand use. Further searches for psychometric evidence were undertaken for the eligible measures. Fourteen measures were identified and nine met the inclusion criteria. However, none of these measures, except for the Children Helping Out: Responsibilities, Expectations, and Supports (CHORES), contained all items related to hand use. Most of the included measures had limited psychometric properties. Only the Children's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment/Preferences for Activities of Children (CAPE/PAC), the School Function Assessment-Participation section (SFA-P) and the Children Participation Questionnaire (CPQ) revealed sufficient evidence of validity and reliability. The findings suggest a need for adapting existing participation measures or developing new ones that specifically assess participation in life situations requiring hand use to support interventions.

“…(Rosenblum, Sachs, & Schreuer, ) examines the participation of children and youths in 40 leisure activities. Its reliability and validity were assessed by experts and among 250 non‐disabled adolescents (Rosenblum et al, ) and is available in three languages, following standardized translation. The current study added another factor to the original version, which included 20 activities that involve ICT, such as use of the Internet, computer games, writing blogs, chat rooms, and graphic programs.…”

The current study examined by mixed method the effectiveness of an accessibility to Information and Communications Technology (ICT) program that provided computers, assistive technology, tutors, and internet connection to 65 youths with severe disabilities (aged 13.22 ± 3.4 years) in their homes. The quantitative evaluation included assessment of computer task performance, computer skills, and participation in social ICT leisure activities before and after the program. Findings revealed low baseline and significant progress on most outcome measures 6 months after the program, mostly among those youths who had tutors. Additional in-depth interviews were conducted 1 year later with 10 participants to explore their ICT use and its impact on their social participation. The analysis revealed a significant contribution of the ICT use, while critical thinking about its risks and some disappointment with the social needs that ICT does not address. Our findings raise awareness of 'two-way streets' policies and programs to ensure e-inclusion.

Reliability and Validity of the Children’s Leisure Assessment Scale

Abstract: The CLASS shows good internal reliability and may be useful in the future as a clinical and research tool in occupational therapy for evaluating leisure activities among typically developing children and adolescents.
