Four themes emerged from the data: "Leveling the Playing Field," "Breaking Down Barriers," "Fun and Work: ROC as Toy and Therapy Device," and "Mobility is a Pathway to Autonomy." Conclusions/Implication: Children and caregivers viewed ROCs as both fun and therapeutic, consistently identifying perceived benefits for children's socio-emotional development. This qualitative study provides a better understanding of the complexities and impact of ROCs on children and their families in the socio-emotional domain and may help facilitate clinical decision-making when introducing PM to young children with disabilities as part of a multimodal approach to early intervention.
