Assessing physical literacy with school-aged children in occupational therapy practice: An exploratory qualitative study.

The study interviewed eight occupational therapists, so it captures a small group's views rather than a pattern across practice. Participants were recruited from Victoria, Australia, so findings may not apply to therapists in other places. The time available for trialling the questionnaire was limited. Children were not interviewed and real-time assessments were not observed, so the findings reflect therapists' reports rather than direct observation. The PL-C Quest had not been tested in clinical contexts or with non-typically developing children.

Professor LB was involved in developing the PL-C Quest for the Australian Sports Commission. The Australian Sports Commission funded development of the Australian Physical Literacy Framework and the PL-C Quest. The authors declared no financial support for the research, authorship, or publication of this article.

Do not read this as evidence that the PL-C Quest improves outcomes or is validated for children with disabilities. It is a small qualitative study of therapists' views, and the questionnaire had not been tested in clinical contexts or with non-typically developing children.
