*Implementation Challenges*

The implementation of new strategies can be exciting, but it involves change. Due to the current restrictions related to COVID-19, children with disabilities, their families, and professionals had to accommodate to different ways of receiving and delivering services. Accommodating to new ways of doing things is inherently difficult. Implementation challenges related to RBM have been well-described [20], for example changing professionals' service delivery approach from a medical model to a truly family-centered approach, where families make meaningful decisions about goals, what to work on in between visits and what to focus on. Implementation challenges related to My Abilities First include barriers to change in practice at the organizational or individual level, as adopting an abilities-oriented approach—in person or virtually—means a different way to collect information, plan and deliver interventions in healthcare encounters. Education highlighting the importance of adopting new approaches based on rights, child and family-centered care is essential to ameliorate these implementation challenges.
