Abstract

Children with developmental disabilities require more medical experiences than typically-developing children and struggle to cooperate with healthcare encounters. Adaptive care plans, delivered by child life specialists, are individualized patient-centered plans created to address the challenges that children with developmental disabilities experience. The current study evaluated if adaptive care plans affect the psychosocial outcomes of children with ASD compared to those with other developmental disabilities. One-hundred and sixty children between 3 and 18 years of age (child’s Mage = 8.10, SD = 3.75) participated. Although children with developmental disabilities who had adaptive care plans did not generally experience less psychosocial distress; children with ASD who had adaptive care plans experienced fewer challenges with anxiety and coping compared to children with ASD who did not have adaptive care plans.
Voetnoten
1
Research involves children with developmental disabilities who may not be able to, nor will be asked to, provide assent. Because children experience the medical procedure regardless of their involvement in the study, data from the child’s medical experience was only included in the study if parents or legal guardians provided consent.

Analyses revealed that neither the type of procedure nor its level of invasiveness affected the children’s psychosocial distress scores, as measured by the PRAP after the healthcare encounter.
