Exploring the Use of the CO-OP With Children With EF Functions Deficits Following ABI
Exploring the Use of the Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance Approach (CO-OP) With Children With Executive Functions Deficits Following Severe Acquired Brain Injury: a Single Case Experimental Design Study
Purpose:
Acquired brain injury (ABI) in childhood are the cause of disabling motor, cognitive and behavioural disorders, with severe consequences on the later development of autonomy and learning, with long-term repercussions on independence for activities of daily living, and social and professional integration. Among cognitive disorders, executive function (EF) deficits are among the most frequent and disabling, with major consequences on the development of autonomy and the course of schooling and learning. The Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) could be an interesting approach for the rehabilitation of these consequences. CO-OP is a performance-based treatment approach for children and adults who experience difficulties performing the skills they want to, need to or are expected to perform. CO-OP is a specifically tailored, active client-centered approach that engages the individual at the meta-cognitive level to solve performance problems. Focused on enabling success, the CO-OP approach employs collaborative goal setting, dynamic performance analysis, cognitive strategy use, guided discovery, and enabling principles. It has been shown to be effective in a variety of populations, but has been little explored in children with ABI.
Objectives To assess whether the use of CO-OP could be of interest in children with executive functions deficits following ABI, to improve their occupational performance, their executive functioning in everyday life and their cognitive processes constituting EF.

EXPERIMENTAL: CO-OP intervention
|
The intervention was included within the child's conventional rehabilitation program. In the CO-OP original protocol, the child sets 3 goals. Here, we concentrated on two rather than three goals, as addressing three occupations per session seemed too ambitious given the children's cognitive profile (the third goal served as control goal). We chose to increase the number of sessions to 14 (two sessions per week for seven weeks, vs ten in the original protocol). The global strategy was taught to the child at the first session. The following sessions consisted of an iterative process of implementation of the global strategy in the context of guided discovery to identify domain specific strategies to overcome performance ''breakdowns" the children were experiencing when performing the self-selected tasks. In addition, "homework" was assigned to encourage the application and practice. Parents were invited to attend the sessions if it was possible for them. |

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Assessment of Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) change
Time Frame: Baseline to 3-months post-intervention (Three times per week during baseline and intervention phase for each 3 chosen-goal ; one time at 3-months post-intervention)
|
Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) is a method for writing personalized evaluation scales in order to quantify progress toward defined goals. GAS methodology consists in:
|
Baseline to 3-months post-intervention (Three times per week during baseline and intervention phase for each 3 chosen-goal ; one time at 3-months post-intervention)
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM)
Time Frame: Before baseline, at immediate post-intervention, at 3-months post-intervention.
|
This semi-structured interview helps children/parents identify problematic occupations in different daily areas.
COPM will be used: (1) To determine (only with the child) the 4 problematic occupations identified as the most important (3 will be used as target goals, while the 4 will serve as a control goal); (2) To determine changes in occupational performance in self-selected goals: children and parents will rated their performance and satisfaction associated with these 4 occupations.
Performance and satisfaction are rated by children and parents on a scale of 1 to 10 (1= not at all able to perform the activity (performance) / not at all satisfied with the way the activity is performed (satisfaction); 10 = perfectly able to perform the activity (performance) / perfectly satisfied with the way the activity is performed (satisfaction).
A difference of 2 points between pre- and post-intervention is clinically significant.

Before baseline, at immediate post-intervention, at 3-months post-intervention.

Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF)
Time Frame: Three times during baseline, at immediate post-intervention, at 1- and 3-months post-intervention
|
The parent and teacher report forms of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF, or BRIEF-A for adults'version) provide an ecological assessment of executive functioning through its repercussions in family and school context.
Currently, this questionnaire is the best validated and most widely used in children in various congenital, developmental or acquired conditions.
The outcome measure is the Global Executive Composite score (GEC) T-Scores (Mean: 50; SD: 10; clinical range cutoff: T-Scores≥65).
|
Three times during baseline, at immediate post-intervention, at 1- and 3-months post-intervention
|
Children's cooking task
Time Frame: pre-intervention, immediate post-intervention and 3-months post-intervention
|
The Children's Cooking Task (CCT) is an ecological standardized task designed to assess EF during actual execution of a complex task: the child is asked to prepare a chocolate cake and a fruit cocktail following two simple, highly structured, illustrated recipes with numbered steps.
The CCT was used as a secondary outcome measure in this study in order to determine whether children transferred progress in problem-solving, acquired through strategies discovered with CO-OP, onto the performance of a complex task, unrelated to the trained goals.
