Interventions

  • Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance Approach — BEHAVIORAL
    The Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance approach is an individualized, goal-oriented intervention designed to improve the performance of meaningful daily activities through cognitive strategy use and guided discovery. Participants will complete 10 individual sessions, each lasting approximately 45 to 60 minutes. The intervention will target individualized occupational performance goals identified with the child and family. The global strategy "Goal-Plan-Do-Check" and task-specific strategies will be used to facilitate skill acquisition, problem-solving, generalization, and transfer.

Study Details

Autism spectrum disorder may affect children's participation in daily occupations through difficulties related to motor planning, problem-solving, attention, behavioral regulation, and sensory processing. The Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance approach is a goal-oriented intervention that supports children in identifying and using cognitive strategies to improve the performance of personally meaningful activities. This pilot study aims to examine the preliminary effects of a 10-session Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance intervention on occupational performance, satisfaction with performance, observed performance quality, and individualized goal attainment in primary school-aged children with autism spectrum disorder. Possible changes in autism-related behavioral characteristics and sensory processing patterns will also be examined.

Arms

  • Experimental: CO-OP Intervention
    Participants will receive 10 individual sessions based on the Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance approach. The intervention will focus on child- and family-identified daily occupational performance goals. Sessions will involve collaborative goal setting, dynamic performance analysis, guided discovery, cognitive strategy use, and the global strategy "Goal-Plan-Do-Check." Strategies will be practiced in relation to the selected activities, with emphasis on generalization and transfer to daily life.
