Power mobility skills and mobility-related participation improved after a 4-week WSTP intervention in CYP with CP. Thus, task-based power mobility skills training based on the WSTP, and in line with individualized needs and capabilities, taking place in a natural environment, should be recommended. Power mobility skills training needs to be structured and individualized; the training interventions must consider the individual, the task, and the environment.
