Promoting a vision of inclusion and improved health outcomes in childhood disability: the Child-FERST framework
Key Points
Improved health outcomes were noted when using the Child-FERST framework for childhood disabilities.
The analysis covered various neurodevelopmental disabilities and their impacts on participation.
Observational analysis across multiple cases highlights the need for frameworks that promote inclusivity.
This study suggests further validation of the Child-FERST framework is needed for wider application.
