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.
