Summary

This trial studies how working with a therapist builds capacity for youth with physical disabilities to do activities of their choice in the community. They'll work with an OT for 8 weeks, then try it on their own for 8 weeks and with support for 6 weeks. They'll also rate their performance and share their experience.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young people with physical disabilities like cerebral palsy, spina bifida, or musculoskeletal disorders. They should be able to move around but may need some help with surfaces and stairs. It's not for those who've had the PREP program before or have severe intellectual or communication challenges.
What is being tested?
The study tests the 'PREP' intervention where youth work with therapists to pick and do a community activity they choose, like sports or arts, first with support then on their own. The goal is to see if this helps them start new activities independently.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions focusing on participation in activities through occupational therapy guidance rather than drugs, there are no typical medical side effects; however, participants might experience fatigue or frustration.
