Severe intellectual disability (IQ < 70), as participation in the intervention and following up trainings instructions is not feasible. 2.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary study parameter is feasibility of the CO-OP intervention, including recruitment and retention rates, completion of intervention sessions, adherence, home practice, acceptability, participant and caregiver experiences, and fidelity of intervention delivery. 

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Preliminary effectiveness will be explored using repeated outcome measurements across study phases. Outcomes include the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) to assess perceived performance and satisfaction with self-selected daily activities; the Movement Assessment Battery for Children–Second Edition (MABC-2) to assess motor skills; the Performance Quality Rating Scale (PQRS) to assess movement quality during functional tasks; and the Self-Perception Profile for Children/Adolescents (SPPC/SPPA) to assess self-perception. Changes in outcome trajectories between baseline and intervention phases will be explored.
