Purpose:
To assess quality of life and participation in children with disabilities following a community-based yoga class, to examine the feasibility of implementing a community-based program with individualized support, and to make recommendations for the development of future programs.
Summary Of Key Points:
Four children participated in a 10-week yoga class, with doctor of physical therapy students providing individualized physical and behavioral support. Children improved in components of the Children's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE) following the program; however, changes in quality of life on the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) were inconsistent. Parents provided feedback regarding the family's experience and reported that the children improved behavior, communication, and relationships following the yoga class.
What This Case Adds To Evidencebased Practice:
A community-based yoga class for children with disabilities using individualized support is feasible and can improve participation and enjoyment in recreational activities.
