Summary

This pilot study tests a 10-session program called the Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach in primary school-aged children with autism. The program teaches children to use cognitive strategies like 'Goal-Plan-Do-Check' to improve performance on personally meaningful daily activities. Researchers will measure changes in how well children perform these tasks and how satisfied they feel with their performance.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) Approach, a behavioral intervention using cognitive strategies and guided discovery
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a practical, goal-oriented therapy to help children with autism perform everyday tasks more independently.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 10 children, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention may not lead to lasting improvements.
