Independent living transitions for young people with cerebral palsy in Australia
The transition to independent living is a key marker of adulthood for many adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with disability. How families adapt to this highly complex process is an important area for examination, to inform policy and practice that effectively support family life. This study aimed to understand family adaptation processes during the independent living transitions for families of AYAs with cerebral palsy. Semi-structured intervi…
Adapting Experience‐Based Co‐Design to Disability Research
INTRODUCTION: Participatory methods like experience-based co-design (EBCD) can be used to develop complex interventions, but may need adaptations when co-designers include young people with disability, parents and community partners. We aimed to adapt EBCD through co-production by involving people with lived experience of disability as co-researchers. This paper reports the co-produced protocol and reflects on co-researchers' contributions. METHO…
Inclusive learning spaces in Australian schools
Most Australian children with disability who attend school are enrolled in mainstream schools, yet insights into their spatial experiences of school environments are limited. This research explored the experiences of students with disability in various school settings, focusing on the physical enablers and barriers to their participation (C. Imms et al., 2017). Data were collected via 18 focus groups with stakeholder groups that included students…
Who Funds Published Disability Research in Australia
In this article, we describe the sources of funding cited, and topics of research associated with that funding, in Australian disability research. We conducted a systematic search for publicly available peer-reviewed papers reporting the findings of Australian disability research studies focused on Australia in the 2018–2020 period. Papers identified were analyzed according to research topic, participant group, study methodology, and funding sour…
Characteristics of National Disability Insurance Scheme Plan Payments for People With Cerebral Palsy Described Using Publicly Available Data
Introduction: The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding to Australians with permanent and significant disabilities to enable ‘an ordinary life’. However, we know little about the characteristics of NDIS funding in people with cerebral palsy (CP). Materials and Methods: This project explored the NDIS plan payments and support category by people with CP using publicly accessible NDIS data. A descriptive analysis was undertake…
Participating together in CP-Achieve
The Australian Centre for Health, Independence, Economic participation and Value Enhanced care for adolescents and young adults with Cerebral Palsy (CP-ACHIEVE) is a Centre of Research Excellence (CRE), funded for 5-year by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia. The vision of CP-ACHIEVE is an Australia where people with cerebral palsy receive excellent healthcare throughout their lives and live in, and contribute to, suppo…
The Journey to Sustainable Participation in Physical Activity for Adolescents Living with Cerebral Palsy
The journey to sustainable participation was complex and dynamic. Experiences of successful journeys are needed to help adolescents with CP "stay on track" to sustainable participation
Structural validity and internal consistency of Picture My Participation
The four possible subcomponents of PMP can be used to provide information about possible domains in which participation and participation restrictions exist. This study provided further psychometric evidence about PMP as a measure of participation. The stability and the utility of these subcomponents needed further exploration
Definitions and Operationalization of Mental Health Problems, Wellbeing and Participation Constructs in Children with NDD
Children with impairments are known to experience more restricted participation than other children. It also appears that low levels of participation are related to a higher prevalence of mental health problems in children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). The purpose of this conceptual paper is to describe and define the constructs mental health problems, mental health, and participation to ensure that future research investigating partic…
Successfully Negotiating Life Challenges
Despite facing multidimensional inequalities, some adults with cerebral palsy achieve positive social outcomes (e.g., independent living, employment, and romantic relationships). We interviewed 23 adults (aged 23-47 years) about how they successfully negotiated the challenges of adulthood. Common to all life situations was doing what others (people without cerebral palsy) do. Origins of success lay in their formative experiences (e.g., typical pa…
Longitudinal Trends of Participation in Relation to Mental Health in Children with and without Physical Difficulties
Children with physical disabilities (PD) are known to have participation restrictions when in inclusive settings alongside typically developing (TD) children. The restrictions in participation over time may affect their mental health status. This study aimed to investigate the longitudinal relationship between independence in activities (capability) and frequency of attendance in activities, in relation to perceived mental health status in childr…
Participation, both a means and an end
This review outlines a conceptual approach to inform research and practice aimed at supporting children whose lives are complicated by impairment and/or chronic medical conditions, and their families. ‘Participation’ in meaningful life activities should be an essential intervention goal, to meet the challenges of healthy growth and development, and to provide opportunities to help ensure that young people with impairments reach their full potenti…
