      ab: Collaborative research conducted at multiple sites provides a mechanism to increase sample size and improve generalizability of outcome data. Using a mentor-clinician model, six clinicians participated in evaluating the effectiveness of occupational therapy intervention on preschool children with fine motor impairments. Over the course of the preschool year, the children who received services made substantial gains on 9 of the 11 measures and made greater gains than a comparison sample made on five measures. The intervention variables associated with positive fine motor outcomes included the number of occupational therapy sessions and the percentage of sessions that incorporated play activities and goals. These results support the value of occupational therapy services in preschool programs and the importance of using a playful context to achieve rehabilitation goals with young children.
