Abstract

This study examined whether children’s real-life hand skill performance associates with their participation. A group of 30 preschool-aged children without disabilities and their parents were recruited. Each child was observed performing activities in real-life contexts, and their hand skill performance was scored using the Assessment of Children’s Hand Skills. The parents completed the Children Participation Questionnaire. Real-life hand skill performance was found to significantly associate with children’s participation diversity, intensity, and independence. Neither children’s enjoyment nor parents’ satisfaction with children’s participation was predicted. This study provides preliminary evidence supporting the relationship between children’s real-life hand skill performance and participation.
