Summary
The PARTICIPATE study has been designed to examine the participation of children with physical disabilities in formal and informal everyday activities. We will also investigate:
- the environmental, family, and child-related factors that influence participation; and
- children's satisfaction with their own participation level(s), in addition to how their participation changes with age.
