Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Clinical improvement/medical benefit measured by (measurement time points T1: before training, T2: immediately after training, T3: 6 weeks after end of training): - T1, T2: reaction times /improvement in reaction times at the end of the training period compared to the beginning (absolute and in percent, min. 8%) or - T2: Achievement of normal times (2 seconds per search object), - T2: change in reaction time compared to baseline - T2,T3: Acceptance, problems encountered, effects subjectively perceived by the parents - Implementation in everyday life: --> T2,T3: fewer "accidents" (bumping into, knocking over objects), --> T1,T2,T3: search times / improvement in the table test --> T2,T3: positive care effects in the area of adherence as well as coping with illness-related difficulties T1,T2,T3: Clinical quality of life questionnaires (QoL).	—
