• The performance and satisfaction scales of occupational performance for 45 children in both groups were assessed by a semi-structured interview questionnaire of "Canadian Occupational Performance Measure" reported by their caregivers.

  The occupational performance assessed by the "Canadian Occupational Performance Measure" includes the performance on the self-care, productivity, and leisure activities. The caregiver is asked to identify the activities that is needed and difficult to be completed by their children. The importance of the five most necessary and difficult activities are scored by each caregiver on a ten-point scoring scale. The performance and satisfaction of the five most necessary, difficult and important activities are scored by each client and caregiver on a 10-point scale. The scores of performance or satisfaction scale were aggregated on the five most necessary, difficult and important activities.
