Occupational Performance Coaching (OPC)
EXPERIMENTALThis group received approximately 12 sessions of the telehealth intervention. The intervention consisted of parent-therapist conversations via telehealth to increase child function and participation.
Interventions
OPC focuses on increasing positive child-caregiver interactions and child learning opportunities in everyday routines and contexts, which positions families for improved trajectories over time. OPC capitalizes on families' strengths, while supporting caregivers in using their own resources and ideas to advance child function. Caregivers identify goals, while therapists ask reflective questions and make reflective comments, affording caregivers an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of their own current knowledge and the impact of their strategies on their children's adaptive behavior. Thus, families generate their own solutions and are ultimately responsible for carrying out the intervention and evaluating its effectiveness.
