Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and efficacy of an adapted evidence-based program (REBIL) to reduce barriers to community participation and remove fall hazards at home for adults aging with physical disabilities.

Detailed description

Investigators will test the working hypothesis that the adapted program, focused on resolving environmental barriers, removing fall hazards, and building self-management skills in the home and community, will be feasible and superior to usual care for daily activity performance and participation outcomes in adults aging with physical disabilities.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Removing Environmental Barriers to Independent Living (REBIL)	REBIL is a complex intervention with two essential components: (1) removing environmental barriers and home hazards in the home tailored to the participant's unique abilities and limitations and (2) strategy training with the participant to help participant to be able to identify barriers in the home and community and identify potential resources and strategies to remove the barriers. Treatment includes one assessment session and four 75-minute visits in the home with an occupational therapist over 8 weeks, followed by a 6 -month assessment session by a blinded rater.
BEHAVIORAL	Waitlist Attentional Control	The waitlist attentional control group will receive an initial assessment session then four 75 minute interview visits from an occupational therapy graduate assistant, followed by a 6-month assessment session by a blinded rater. After the 6-month follow-up is completed this group will receive the REBIL intervention.
