Despite the disparities noted, an encouraging result was that
children with disabilities were at least moderately involved in
activities that they participated in (except for religious/spiritual
activities). Thus, measuring the level of involvement may afford
new ways to understand and promote participation that is beneficial
to children with disabilities because the focus is less on how
often they participate and more on the quality of their participation.
Considering the child’s level of involvement also might point
to areas of strength when other indices suggest that participation is
restricted or vice versa.
