Mini-symposium: Powered mobility : Facilitating participation in children with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) type 1. Ready for the Race?
(2023) 35th EACD Annual Meeting European Academy of Childhood Disability p.86-86- Abstract
- OBJECTIVES
The symposium will provide the know-how about powered mobility use in children with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type I. Define what are the barriers of their mobility and how powered mobility can facilitate participation and social interaction. Disseminate the importance of family involvement in early powered mobility through the use of adapted motorized devices supporting development of functional strategies that improve the child's access to their natural environment.
SUMMARY
Children diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) have motor disorders that affect their mobility, restricting activities of daily living and participation. Powered mobility when used within their natural environment, involving the family,... (More) - OBJECTIVES

SUMMARY
Children diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) have motor disorders that affect their mobility, restricting activities of daily living and participation. Powered mobility when used within their natural environment, involving the family, can encourage their motivation to be mobile and facilitate participation. Experiences of self-produced mobility gives opportunities for learning and interaction and facilitates autonomy. The child’s exploratory activity with an adapted powered device causes continuous changes of position in relation to the physical and social environment, giving new perspectives and opportunities for interaction and participation.
