Need more reasons to apply evidence-supported interventions: they decrease the cost and time burdens to families and caregivers!

This week’s #3PracticalTakeaways is from the systematic review of Jackman et al (2020). The authors looked at randomized controlled trial papers on upper limb training for children with Cerebral Palsy. They compared how long and how much it costs for goal achievement using different interventions. Curious what came cheapest and fastest? Goal-Directed interventions which they defined as interventions that focus on “task-specific practice of whole tasks that target goal achievement” which may “include changing the environment to enhance task performance.” While this study is only on children with Cerebral Palsy…can you picture parallels for other clients?
