Participation

Description

Enabling Participation provides a key reference work for health and education practitioners who wish to optimise
outcomes for children, young people and families where there is an individual with a childhood onset neurodisability.
By focusing on participation -- what is it, how to measure it and how to influence it ?the book aims to support
professionals to utilise the most recent developments in the field.

Written in five parts, the book provides the reader with knowledge about the concept of participation; detailed
understanding of how varying contexts influence participation outcomes; how to measure participation as an outcome and
as a process; how to intervene to promote participation outcomes; and future directions and challenges.

Chapters provide diverse examples of evidence-based practices and are enriched by scenarios and vignettes to engage
and challenge the reader to consider how participation in meaningful activities might be optimised for individuals and
their families. The book's practical examples aim to facilitate knowledge transfer, clinical application and service
planning for the future.
