Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

• Frankfurter tests

  The reliability and validity studies of the Frankfurter Concentration Test for five-year-old children, developed by Raatz and Möhling (1971). were conducted in Germany.It is a short, simple test that measures attention and concentration skills. It is a performance test that involves marking a target stimulus in a visual.

  Baseline and 6 months after initial evaluation

• Cancellation Test

  It is a neuropsychological test developed by Weintraub and Mesulam (1985). The IT in the BILNOT Battery has been standardized for both adults and children. In studies conducted in our country, it has been observed that the IT scores are grouped under the factors of visual-spatial scanning, impulsivity and reaction speed regarding the stimulus context.

  Baseline and 6 months after initial evaluation

• Executive Functions and Occupational Routines Scale (EFORTS)

  It evaluates the mental characteristics of children aged 6-12, such as impulse, verbal and non-verbal memory, self-regulation, problem solving, and planning. It is scored by the family on a 1-5 Likert scale. It has 3 subsections, including morning-evening routines, play-fun, and social routines, and contains a total of 30 questions.

  Baseline and 6 months after initial evaluation

• Forward and Backward Digit Span

  To assess working memory, the Digit Span Subtest of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for children was used ın forward digit span, the child is told a 2-digit number and asked to repeat it. When the same digit is repeated twice correctly, the number of digits is increased. The number of digits is increased until an error is made. When an error is made twice, the test is finished and the forward digit span is determined. The backward digit span is similar to the forward digit span. The only difference is that the child is asked to repeat the given numbers backwards.

  Baseline and 6 months after initial evaluation

• The Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulders

  It measures children's ability to regulate their behavior. Children are asked to do the opposite of what is said. The task increases in complexity by including 4 body parts (head, toe, knee and shoulder). Answers are scored from 0 to 2 points.

  Baseline and 6 months after initial evaluation

• Motor-free Perception Test (MVPT-3).

  MVPT-3 includes all visual perception subheadings. The test consists of 9 subfields and 65 shapes, namely visual discrimination (1-8), shape formation (9-13), visual memory-I (14-21), visual proximity-I(22-34), visual discrimination (35-45), position in space (46-50), figure-ground (51-55), visual proximity-II (56-60) and visual memory-II (61-65). Total visual perception score is calculated.

  Baseline and 6 months after initial evaluation

• Test of Integrated Language and Literacy Skills (TILLS)

  It was developed by Nelson and his colleagues to assess the oral and written language skills of school-age children (6-18). The test consists of 15 subtests that measure different stages of oral and written language skills.
