Great to see the long-term impacts of Sports Stars!

Check out the new paper by CMCRC Researchers to hear how parents perceived that Sports Stars impacted children three years later!

New paper: Long-term impact of Sports Stars for kids with CP! 🌟

Parents reported their children:
🏅 Improved confidence & self-efficacy
⚽ Tried lots of new sports
🌟Continued physical activity participation

Sports Stars was the 'spark' that started it!

“Allied health professionals should tailor their processes to each child’s individual needs, provide ability-specific strategies and resources, and empower children to share their perspectives”. Congratulations to the CMCRC team led by @AislingRyanOT on this paper!

I had the privilege of presenting Afra’s work on the SPORTY project at #AACPDM2024 today. For anyone who is interested in the full priorities, see her poster from AusACPDM below.

Yesterday I presented my third poster at #AACPDM2024 on behalf of Sam Lee & Michael Curtin on understanding how to describe participation in sport for children with disabilities.

#AACPDM2024 round up time!

[Dr Georgina Clutterbuck (she/her) @GeorginaPaedsPT]

Two of my three posters at #AACPDM2024. Cliff notes: 1) An 8-week practitioner-led sports group improves participation in sport, which is sustained 3 YEARS post intervention. 2) standardised participation assessments do not adequately measure attendance or involvement in sport.
