Parental Perspectives on Child Participation After Intensive Motor Intervention

A sequential multimethod qualitative study collected open-ended questionnaire and focus group data from parents of children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). The dataset, authored by Silke Velghe and shared on figshare, contains parental reports on changes in child participation, family dynamics, and social interactions following a one-week, 40-hour group balance intervention. The data was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Analyzing themes of child empowerment and self-initiated actions based on parental qualitative reports.
• Studying the relationship between specific intervention features (individual therapist, accessible environment) and sustained participation changes.
• Investigating shifts in family dynamics and parental support behaviors following intensive therapy.
• Exploring the role of parental understanding and communication in maintaining post-intervention changes.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a sequential multimethod study involving 36 total parents (22 in Phase 1, 14 in Phase 2).
• The dataset captures sustained changes reported three months post-intervention.
• The study design includes both open-ended questionnaires and focus groups for depth.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
