Implementing My Abilities First for Children with Developmental Delays in Taiwan: A Strengths-Based, ICF-Informed Practice Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This practice-based implementation report describes the adoption of the My Abilities First (MAF) initiative for children with developmental delays in Taiwan. Grounded in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework, MAF emphasizes a strengths-based, participatory, and human rights-oriented approach to early childhood intervention. The purpose of this report is to describe the development of the MAF framework and the details of its innovative, culturally sensitive implementation in Taiwan, using implementation science principles to support the national adoption of My Abilities ID Cards (ABIDs). Central to the MAF initiative is the ABID, a tool that empowers children to express their abilities, preferences, and support needs using their own voice or preferred mode of communication. Guided by implementation science, the MAF team in Taiwan engaged stakeholders in urban and rural centers, developed training programs, and integrated ABID into early intervention and special education systems. Preliminary outcomes indicate that from 2021 to 2025, 140 training sessions reached a total attendance of 6961. Notably, satisfaction with training was high (>95%), and practitioner subjective competence adopting positive language improved. The number of children under age 12 creating ABIDs grew to approximately 700. Preliminary evidence suggests that ABIDs might increase systematic adoption of children's opinions in assessments and interventions. Qualitative feedback from parents and professionals highlights the contribution of ABIDs, ensuring self-expression, motivation, and meaningful participation. The pioneering Taiwanese experience demonstrates the feasibility and impact of MAF and ABIDs in promoting children's rights and participation, offering practical insights for global adaptation in diverse contexts.
