Evaluation of The Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) Approach for adolescents with mild intellectual disability

The aim is to describe and evaluate CO-OP for adolescents with mild intellectual disability (ID). Treatment options with good evidence to enhance occupational performance for persons with ID are limited, but initial research show potential for CO-OP for this group. CO-OP has good evidence for other groups, such as children with cerebral palsy (CP), with long term effects on occupational performance that transfers to everyday life in a way other treatment options do not. CO-OP has also shown to increase self-efficacy. CO-OP is a unique person-centered approach where the person chooses his/her own goals and creates his/her own strategies to reach them. 

The project is designed in four studies including feasibility, quantitative and qualitative evaluation.
