Engagement in video game therapies

A video game controller lies on top of a stack of stapled papers on a wooden surface, the cord wrapped several times around its centre.

With Dr. Elaine Biddiss and researchers at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, I synthesized evidence of strategies for engagement in home-based video game therapies for children. This information helps therapists to help kids achieve their therapeutic goals in a motivating way.
