Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Changes in self-reported occupational performance (COPM score) are calculated for the intervention and control groups and tested by Wilcoxon Rang Sum Test in order to statistically test if any difference between the two groups occur. Measured at 0 (baseline), 3, and 6 months.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Changes in satisfaction with own occupational performance (COPM score) are calculated for the intervention and control groups and tested by the Wilcoxon Rang Sum Test in order to statistically test if any any differences between the two groups occur. 2. Changes in motor and process skills (AMPS score) are calculated for the intervention and control groups and tested by a Wicoxon Rang Sum Test in order to test if any statistically significant difference occur between the two groups. 3. Changes in Quality of life (SF-36) are calculated for the intervention and control groups and between groups differences will be tested by T-test if data are normally distributed, or by a Wilcoxon Rang Sum Test if they are not normally distributed. Measured at 0 (baseline), 3, and 6 months.	—
