- Registration Number
- NCT06038435
- Lead Sponsor
- Bezmialem Vakif University
- Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is by using the Cognitive Orientation Approach on Daily Occupational Performance, which is also supported by the literature and applied by occupational therapists, in children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, it is aimed to determine how children's executive function scores and occupational participation change.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does the Cognitive Orientation Approach on Daily Occupational Performance have an effect on executive functions?
* Does the Cognitive Orientation Approach on Daily Occupational Performance have an effect on occupational performance?
Participants will:
* Evaluations will be applied to all participants
* Divided into intervention and control groups
* The intervention group will be given "Cognitive Orientation Approach on Daily Occupational Performance" and "Ayres Sensory Integration Therapy" followed up for about 10 weeks.
* The control group will be given "Ayres Sensory Integration Therapy" followed up for about 10 weeks.
* After 10 weeks, the results between the two groups will be compared.
* After the second evaluation, both groups will be followed for 1 month and the same evaluations will be repeated.
Researchers will compare intervention and control groups to see executive functions and occupational participation.
- Detailed Description
Autism spectrum disorder is a complex developmental disorder that can lead to dysfunctions in cognitive, emotion regulation, and communication skills.
At the beginning of the cognitive problems seen in children with autism, the pathophysiology in executive functions, which is affected by individual differences, comes to the fore. Difficulties related to executive functions such as cognitive flexibility and problem solving cause limitations in many basic areas, especially in daily life in autism.
The Cognitive Orientation Approach on Daily Occupational Performance, designed by Polatajko and others, is an activity-oriented problem-solving approach that uses cognitive strategies to develop motor skills in children who have difficulties during daily activities; It is a therapy method that focuses on the goal or the task itself, rather than the acquisition of functions within the activity performance. It is known that the approach is effective on social, emotional and organizational skills, especially cognitive skills in children with autism spectrum disorder.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The Short Child Occupational Profile 10 weeks The profile provides a comprehensive assessment of the child's activity participation and a holistic consideration of the factors that facilitate or limit occupational participation. It consists of 7 subtests including the total score. It is a likert scale between 1-4 points. While the "environmental" subtest is between 5-20 points, the other subtests are between 4-16 points. A higher score is associated with increased occupational performance.
The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function 10 weeks It is a rating used to evaluate the behavior of children and adolescents in the home and school environment, taking into account executive functions. It is a likert scale between 1-3 points and a score between 86-258 is obtained. High score is associated with impaired executive function.
The Executive Function and Occupational Routines Scale 10 weeks It evaluates children's skills such as impulsivity, verbal and non-verbal memory, self-regulation, planning and problem solving. It consists of 4 subtests including the total score. It is obtained by dividing each subtest score by the number of questions. It gives a score between 1-5 points. A high score indicates improvement.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Canadian Occupational Performance Measure 10 weeks It is a person-centered approach to establishing treatment goals and assessing perceived performance and satisfaction changes over time. Performance and satisfaction subtests score between 1-5. A higher score is associated with increased occupational performance.
