Self‐Care Interventions for Children and Young People With Neurodisabilities: A Mixed Methods Study of Current Therapy Practice in the United Kingdom
A clear description of current therapy practice is provided for comparison against new or alternative interventions for self-care. The most common technique involves instructing how to perform specific behaviours, with methods like behavioural rehearsal and graded tasks aiding in acquiring knowledge, skills and beliefs about capabilities. Additionally, interventions focus on modifying the environment through social influences and resources and addressing children's and young people's emotions.
