The Effect of Parent-based Occupational Therapy

Parent-based occupational therapy intervention While the therapist, parent and child were in the therapy area in the first session, the child received the same standard occupational intervention as the control group, and during this process, the parents recorded the therapy with a video recorder. In the second 20 minutes, three activities (such as eating, dressing or mobility activities), which had been decided and planned by the parent and the therapist before the session, were performed by the child and helped by the parent and video-recorded by the occupational therapist.

"The sessions in this intervention included the creation of a client-based programme to increase each child's individual skills, functions and social participation. Each session lasted 45 minutes and took place twice a week until 10 sessions had been completed.~Various materials such as toys, blocks, paper and pencils were used to increase the child's participation in daily living, leisure and play activities."
