Abstract
  • This study exists to create a structured large motor program for children and a balance program for the women at Heart Change Ministries to improve occupational performance. Child development education was provided to 15 staff members via infographics. A pre and post-test perceived knowledge survey was administered before and after education. Results indicated a 35% increase in perceived knowledge. Six children aged three to five were evaluated using the Single Leg Balance Test. Three women were assessed with the Static Balance Test. Both of these assessments were completed as pre and post-tests. The children completed the exercise program one day per week and the women completed the balance program two days per week, each for eight weeks. All the children and women showed improvement in balance scores after program implementation. This data may provide a reference for incorporating similar programs with this population to improve occupational performance in the future.
