description [Purpose] To promote community involvement in children, the factors that influence and limit their participation must be well understood. The purpose of this study was to clarify the factors that limit the community participation of children with disabilities. [Participants and Methods] In total, 235 questionnaires were distributed to parents at special support schools, pediatric hospitals, home-visit nursing stations, and after-school daycare services in Tokyo, Gunma, Hiroshima, and Saga prefectures in Japan. Data related to the Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth, age, height, weight, gross motor function, presence of medical care, diagnosis, and parental age were recorded for school-aged children. [Results] Multiple regression analysis using the 100 valid questionnaire responses revealed that the number of community activities that the children participated in depended on the children’s need for medical care (standardized partial regression coefficient: −0.20). The frequency was affected by gross motor function (standardized partial regression coefficient: −0.24). When respiratory, feeding, and excretion-related medical care were required, the children tended to participate in fewer community activities. [Conclusion] Community participation is influenced by the different factors in each aspect analyzed (number of activities, frequency, and degree of involvement). The factors that should be considered when promoting children’s participation in rehabilitation must be identified.
