Brief Summary

Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) have difficulties performing daily activities which reflects negatively on participation, impacting their lives. To date, there are a number of interventions to improve performance of these children on activities they want or need to. In Brazil, there is little research on the efficacy of such approaches. Our main objective was to start a set of studies to examine the effects of the Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance Approach (CO-OP Approach) protocol on occupational performance and satisfaction of Brazilian children who have DCD; to examine whether children were able to transfer strategies and skills learned during CO-OP to untrained goals.

Conditions

Developmental Coordination Disorder

Keywords

child; goal; intervention; motor skills disorder; occupational therapy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Canadian Occupational Performance Measure

  Change on performance and satisfaction on goals chosen by each child

  up to 12 weeks

• Performance Quality Rating Scale

  Change on occupational performance on goals chosen by each child as measured by external evaluators

  up to 12 weeks

Study Arms (1)

Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance

EXPERIMENTAL

One group was submitted to the CO-OP approach to learn cognitive strategies to perform the chosen tasks.

Behavioral: Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance

Interventions

Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance BEHAVIORAL

In CO-OP Approach, therapists use mediational techniques to teach cognitive strategies - GOAL, PLAN, DO, CHECK - to improve occupational performance in goals chosen by the children in collaboration with them and their parents.

Also known as: CO-OP Approach

Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance
