Applying the Pathways and Resources for Engagement and Participation Protocol Among People With Muscles Dystrophies

Each participant will work individually with an occupational therapist (OT) to pursue one leisure-oriented, community-based activity chosen by the young person. The participant will choose the community program using the PREP 5 steps (Make goals; Map out a plan; Make it happen; Measure the process and outcomes; Move forward). The OT will then search for the appropriate program, identify and remove potential environmental barriers to participation in that activity (e.g., accessibility, equipment), and educate program instructors regarding the person's specific needs. This process will include an expected 8 sessions lasting 12 to 18 weeks (depending on the assigned baseline length).
