Abstract

Training staff and volunteers is an important aspect of successful program implementation. This paper follows Part A of an evaluation of the Special Olympics Canada (SOC) Coaching Young Athletes Training course. Consistent with Kirkpatrick's four-level model of training evaluation, Part A evaluated program leaders' reactions to (level 1) and immediate learning from (level 2) the training. This Part B paper covers "on the job" behavior (level 3). In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with youth program leaders (n = 11) from eight provinces. Overall, participants felt that more training related to working with children with autism and promoting positive athlete behavior was needed. The findings also lead us to suggest that program leaders need to develop a more fulsome understanding of how to foster skill mastery, including how to practice the same skill in many and varied ways.

Abstract

Typical settings of intervention for children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) include home, school, and clinic. Within this current study, we aimed to describe how a concurrent delivery of clinic and home programs for children with DCD would work. Four children with DCD and their families participated in a 10-week trial. All four children had high attendance rates for the clinic sessions. Two of the four families effusively participated in the home program, but the other two families reported difficulties with home practice. The significance of this multiple case report lies in the increased awareness of diverse family needs and capacities to support children with DCD at home. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
