Purpose:
The aim of this study was to describe existing GoBabyGo (GBG) programs with physical or occupational therapist (PT or OT) involvement and identify eligibility criteria and evaluation processes of organizations that build modified ride-on cars (MROCs).
Methods:
Forty-four PTs and OTs completed a survey including descriptive information about GBG programs, barriers and facilitators, and functional aspects of the programs such as inclusion and exclusion criteria, outcome measure use, and follow-up practices.
Results:
Findings demonstrated the heterogeneous nature of GBG programs. GBG programs most commonly serve 2 to-5-year-olds with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and chromosomal abnormalities. Outcome measure use and follow-up was minimal, and successful MROC use definitions varied from independent driving to passive use.
Conclusions:
Clinicians can use this information to help improve existing GBG programs and start new chapters as well as make appropriate referrals for clients who may benefit from a MROC.
