This thesis investigated the use of a commercially available therapy prescription app to deliver home programmes for children with disabilities in a randomised controlled trial. With no improvements in program adherence, and feedback from the children that the app was boring, a new gamified therapy app, Zingo, was then developed and tested specifically for children. The Zingo app was found to be fun and motivating for children with disabilities. | en_US |
