ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To design and evaluate a camp-based intervention, the goal of which was to increase independence among children, adolescents, and adults with spina bifida.METHODS:
An intervention targeting independence was embedded within a typical week long camp experience. The intervention consisted of the following collaborative (i.e., parent and camper) goal identification, group sessions consisting of psycho-education and cognitive tools, and goal monitoring by camp counselors. Camper and parent report of demographic variables, goal attainment, spina bifida knowledge, and independence were gathered. Interventionist report of adherence to the treatment manual was also collected.RESULTS:
Campers made significant gains in individual goals, management of spina bifida responsibilities, and independence with general spina bifida tasks, with medium effect sizes observed in goal attainment.CONCLUSIONS:
Results indicated that significant progress was made on individually oriented goals from pre- to post-camp. Design issues are discussed.
