Brief Summary

This study aimed to investigate the performance of activities of daily living (ADL) among 53 children ages 6-10 years: 17 with high-severity ASD (HS-ASD), 16 with low-severity ASD (LS-ASD), and 20 controls with typical development. Methods: The assessment combined a parent-reported questionnaire (the Participation in Childhood Occupation; PICO) alongside the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI self-care) and Performance-based task, the Washing Hands Structured Observation (WashHO).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• PICO-Q ASD

  The 34-item PICO-Q for ASD measures the level, enjoyment, and frequency of performance for children's participation in daily occupations in five domains: ADL (16 items), academic activity (seven items), play and leisure (four items), social functioning (four items), and routines and habits (two items; Bar-Shalita et al., 2009; Heller., 2013). In this study, each child could choose two addition items in which they were participating, and a handwashing item was added. Each item has four scores: difficulty in performance, frequency, involvement, and level of enjoyment, and scores range from 1 (low) to 5 (high).

  through study completion, an average of 3 Months

• PEDI Self-Care Subtest

  Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory- parent report about children's ADL performance abilities (Haley et al., 1992). The test includes eight items measuring the typical amount of assistance the caregiver provides during the child's completion of tasks such as eating, grooming, and handwashing. Each item is scored from 5 (independence, no physical assistance or supervision) to 0 (total assistance, the caregiver does the entire task) and includes scoring of frequency-type adjustments. The total scale score ranges between 0 and 100, with lower scores indicating higher severity levels.

  through study completion, an average of 3 Months

• the Washing Hands Structured Observation (WashHO)

  was developed based on the Do-Eat Performance-Based Assessment for Children (Do-Eat; Josman et al., 2010). examines BADL performance, sensorimotor skills, and executive functions abilities across the child's natural environments. includes four domains (a) performance analysis (10 items), (b) sensorimotor skills (SM; six items), (c) executive functions (EF; nine items), and (d) 10 unique performance characteristics.
