Abstract
Caregivers desire quick and efficient ways to access educational materials for their child utilizing mobility tools such as the Explorer Mini. There is a lack of research surrounding receptivity to the provision of pediatric power mobility educational materials despite evidence of its benefits. The findings of the Capstone research showcase that when caregiver education is designed universally, caregivers express the ability to make more informed decisions regarding their child's on-time mobility.
PIO QUESTION: How does multimodal education impact caregivers’ lived experience in mobility options for children ages 12-36 months?
PURPOSE: To conclude which multimodal educational materials are needed to provide the population with the resources that will help them increase their understanding, make the most age-appropriate selection, and understand their lived experience in supporting their child’s on-time development.
