Limitations in activities and social participation
seem to influence task performance. This cross-sectional
study used the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory
(PEDI) and the participation and environment questionnaires
(YC-PEM and PEM-CY) to investigate guardians’ perceptions
of the performance of activities and social participation
of children with atypical motor development undergoing
neurofunctional physical therapy. In total, 23 guardians of
children aged from seven months to six years participated In the assessment of functional skills, nine children exhibited
delayed self-care, 20 had delayed mobility, and seven had
delayed social function. Regarding caregiver assistance, delays
in performance were observed in 14 children for self-care, 17
for mobility, and 15 for social function. Regarding participation
at home, basic care routines were the most frequent activities,
whereas household chores were the least. In total, two children
attended preschool. In the community, children who received
less caregiver assistance demonstrated greater involvement in
activities, and most participated in outing activities. Guardians’
perceptions of disability suggest difficulties in task performance.
Participation was most frequent at home; in the community, it was
proportional to the level of independence, and for most children,
school was not a participatory environment
