Using CO-OP to help adolescents with mild intellectual disability

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach for adolescents aged 13-17 with mild intellectual disability. Participants will select personal goals and develop strategies to achieve them over a ten-week intervention period. The study aims to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of CO-OP in enhancing occupational performance in this population, building on initial research that suggests potential benefits. The intervention will involve weekly meetings and support from a parent or significant other.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Study I-II

Inclusion criteria

* 13-17 years
* Diagnosed mild intellectual disability
* Motivation to reach self-selected goals
* Ability to identify those goals
* Possibility to meet once a week for ten weeks
* Access to a parent or significant other for support during intervention

Exclusion criteria:

* Movement related diagnosis (i.e. cerebral palsy or neuro muscular diseases)
* Diagnosed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder/attention deficit disorder (ADHD/ADD) or autism spectrum disorder
* Progressive diagnoses
* Need for language interpreting
* Need for alternative and augmentative communication (i.e. pictures or signs).

Study III

Inclusion criteria:

* 13-17 years
* Diagnosed mild intellectual disability
* Completed CO-OP intervention or at lest half way trough the intervention
* Opportunity to meet physically for an interview with in a month post and 6 months post intervention.
* CO-OP intervention done with high fidelity to CO-OP format with a CO-OP therapist that has written field notes, preferrably recruited from study I-II.

Exclusion criteria:

* Movement related diagnosis (i.e. cerebral palsy or neuro muscular diseases)
* Diagnosed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder/attention deficit disorder (ADHD/ADD) or autism spectrum disorder
* Progressive diagnoses
* Need for language interpreting
* Need for alternative and augmentative communication (i.e. pictures or signs).

Study IV

Inclusion criteria:

* Parents with legal guardianship that lives full- or part time with an adolescent reaching the inclusion criteria for study I who has completed CO-OP within or out of the project
* Opportunity to meet physically for an interview with in a month post and 6 months post the adolescent's completed, or at least half way through, CO-OP intervention.

Exclusion criteria:

* Need for language interpreting
* Need for alternative and augmentative communication (i.e. pictures or signs)
* Irregular and brief living with the adolescent comparable to less than half-time and therefore does not observe the adolescent's occupational performance enough to answer the interview questions.
