Description

This pediatric home health capstone project aims to enhance caregiver implementation of home exercise programs for children. By providing tailored training, resources, and support, the project seeks to improve caregivers' confidence and competence in guiding children through prescribed exercises. Through structured education, clear communication strategies, and ongoing feedback, the initiative strives to promote better adherence to the exercise regimen, ultimately improving the child's health outcomes and quality of life.
