Modified Ride-on Car Use by Children With Complex Medical Needs

The purpose of this report was to determine the feasibility of short-term modified ride-on car (ROC) use for exploration and enjoyment by children with complex medical needs.A single-subject research design was used (n = 3; age, 6 months to 5 years). Children were video-recorded using their modified ROC.All children successfully learned how to independently drive a modified ROC. Two of the 3 children demonstrated high levels of enjoyment during use of a modified ROC.Modified ROC use is a feasible and enjoyable powered mobility device for children with complex medical needs.
