Intervention model description: Cohort study of children receiving intensive therapy and their caregivers

Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary intensive therapy program for ambulatory and non-ambulatory children with neurodevelopmental disorders across the ICF and to explore caregiver experiences and perspectives of the program.

Detailed description: The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary intensive therapy program for ambulatory and non-ambulatory children with neurodevelopmental disorders across the ICF and to explore caregiver experiences and perspectives of the program. Research questions include: 1.) What are the effects of an intensive program on postural control and functional mobility for children with neurodevelopmental disorders? 2.) What are the effects of an intensive therapy program on dual tasking for children with neurodevelopmental disorders? 3.) What are the perceptions of caregivers of a multidisciplinary intensive therapy program for their children with neurodevelopmental disorders? Data will be gathered before and after the intensive program as part of usual care and ambulatory children will be further assessed in the motion analysis lab. Caregivers will complete a questionnaire about satisfaction with services and also a 4 question open-ended question survey about their experience with intensive therapy.
