From Home Exercises to Child-Led Home Activity Programs
ENGAGE Children to Succeed!
So, you prescribed a home program…how is the carry over? The effectiveness of our interventions is determined not just by what we do in our treatment sessions, but also the amount of practice that occurs after. How can we make home programs less of a chore and a struggle? Amy presents an evidence-informed 6-step approach to the creation, implementation and monitoring of child-led home activity programs, using the mnemonic “ENGAGE for Success.” She will utilize real-life case studies of children from elementary to high school to demonstrate various strategies, tools, and resources that you can utilize for each step to support children’s engagement. Participants will discover how this child-led approach to home programs can promote, not just carryover, but also such skills as problem-solving, self-advocacy, goal-setting and decision-making…all necessary skills for children with disabilities to grow up to be self-determined, self-motivated and successful adults.
