The purpose of this study was to understand the interprofessional contributions of occupational therapy services within the pediatric primary care team during developmental surveillance for health promotion and prevention. A prospective observational study of 27 well-child visits was conducted. Well-child visits were conducted by a physician, physician assistant, or nursing practitioner. This research compared observed developmental surveillance from an occupational therapy perspective to identify opportunities for supporting daily childhood activity participation. Areas of occupational and developmental participation were generally well covered during developmental surveillance. While there were no observed differences in the scope of the well-child visit conducted by different primary care professionals, habits, routines, roles, rituals, and the environments and contexts that may be impacting participation for children and families were found to be an area of limited discussion during developmental surveillance. There is an opportunity for occupational therapy practitioners to be involved in developmental surveillance with an emphasis on occupational therapy\'s expertise in habits, routines, roles, and contextual considerations to participation and development.

On Track Developmental Monitoring System (DMS) is a novel series of tools to assist in shared-decision making, guide rehabilitation intervention based on functional ability levels, and promote episodic care service models. Further understanding of the acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness of On Track DMS in clinical settings is critical. The purpose of this study was to understand clinician perspectives of the acceptability of On Track DMS and to identify potential implementation barriers and facilitators within pediatric physical therapist practice.
Three, day-long training workshops were conducted with 32 pediatric physical therapists across the US. Focus groups with 21 workshop participants were conducted following training. Results were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and coded into themes.
Three themes emerged from the data: (1) Valuing the On Track Approach to Intervention; (2) Setting-Specific Needs and Challenges to Implementation; and (3) Training Material/Tool Strengths and Limitations.
On Track DMS appears to have initial value and acceptability for pediatric physical therapists across practice settings. Perceived benefits include facilitation of data-driven practice and therapist/family collaboration to improve health outcomes for children with CP. Using this data to understand and assess barriers and facilitators to knowledge use are first steps in successfully implementing On Track DMS.
