The Effect of the CO-OP Approach for Children With Cerebral Palsy

In the literature, despite the reported positive findings of the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach, studies in this area have been limited and it is stated that studies involving more sample groups are needed (24-27). In addition, no studies investigating the effect of the CO-OP approach on functional status were found. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of CO-OP approach in terms of occupational performance and satisfaction also functional status in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and to determine parents' satisfaction level from CO-OP. The hypotheses of the study are: The CO-OP approach has no effect on occupational performance in children with CP. CO-OP approach has no effect on occupational satisfaction in children with CP. The CO-OP approach has no effect on the functional status of children with CP.
