abstract="Go Baby Go is a program at the University of Delaware that adapts ride-on toy cars for the recreation of children with disabilities. Colombia's health-care system faces many challenges in delivering early mobility devices to these children; thus, here (in Colombia), no dedicated programs such as Go Baby Go exist. In this study, we examined how feasible it would be to implement a Go Baby Go program in our country. Electronic and seating adaptations to the cars were made and described. We chose three participants from a pool of children with cerebral palsy (Gross Motor Function Classification System IV), according to a set of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Then, we measured theirs and their parent's level of satisfaction with the experience through a Likert scale. All of the parents described seeing their kids ride the adapted cars as &quot;extremely fun&quot;. They also said that it is &quot;extremely important&quot; to have these devices close by so that their children can get involved in recreational activities.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
