“…Evidence of eight intervention approaches implemented among children or adolescents was reported in the reviewed publications. The Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO‐OP; Polatajko & Mandich, ) was the most common intervention reported and was implemented in seven articles (Banks, Rodger & Polatajko, ; Gharebaghy, Rassafiani & Cameron, ; Missiuna et al ., ; Phelan, Steinke & Mandich, ; Rodger & Brandenburg, ; Rodger & Liu, ; Rodger, Pham & Mitchell, ). The remaining interventions are presented in Table .…”

Background/aim: Knowledge and understanding of deficits in executive functions has expanded in recent years and its relevance to occupational therapy has been established. The purpose of this review was to identify, analyse, synthesise and describe the updated occupational therapy scientific literature that addresses the subject of executive functions, specifically focusing on children and adolescents. Method: Scoping review methodology was implemented to map the occupational therapy literature on executive functions in children and adolescents over the past decade. Articles were retrieved from five electronic databases. Results: Fifty publications met the inclusion criteria. The research included a wide age range, different diagnoses, use of diverse executive functions definitions and assortment of assessments and interventions. Conclusion: A unique definition of executive functions among children and adolescents was proposed. This definition can assist both clinicians and researchers in the field. Continued research to establish the profession in a key position is recommended to understand the underlying mechanisms of daily performance.

“…The therapist or parent supports this learning through a process of guided discovery and utilizing domain specific strategies. [9] There is high level evidence to support the use of CO-OP for children with developmental coordination disorder, [14,15] and preliminary evidence suggests CO-OP may be beneficial in other populations such as Asperger's syndrome, [16,17] pervasive developmental disorder [18] and brain injury. [10] A number of authors support the potential benefits of CO-OP for children with CP [12,19] and unpublished studies regarding CO-OP for children with CP have been carried out, [11,20] and are currently being undertaken.…”

Parents felt that CO-OP was a worthwhile intervention that leads to achievement of goals involving upper limb function and had the capacity to be transferred to future goals. Intensity of therapy and a child's motivation were identified as important factors in improvements. Further studies using quantitative research methods are warranted to investigate the benefits of CO-OP for children with neurological conditions. Implications for rehabilitation The cognitive orientation to daily occupational performance (CO-OP) is a promising upper limb cognitive motor training intervention for children with cerebral palsy. In a small sample, parents perceived that CO-OP leads to achievement of upper limb goals. Intensity of therapy, the child's motivation and the parents' ability to "step-back" were identified as important to the success of CO-OP.

“…Cognitive strategies, known as Cognitive Orientation for (daily) Occupational Performance (CO-OP) have also been utilized for improving motor performance in individuals with AS [63]. This intervention is a child-focused goal-directed technique used by occupational therapists to help motor-impaired individuals reach functional goals [64].…”

Asperger’s syndrome (AS) is a form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affecting many individuals today. Although neurobiological correlates for AS have been identified, like many ASDs, AS is not completely understood. AS as a distinct disorder is also not universally accepted and in the DSM-5 AS is not considered a separate nosological entity. In contrast to some other ASDs, individuals with AS are commonly characterized by having standard or higher than average intelligence, yet difficulties in social skills and communication can present challenges for these individuals in everyday functioning. Counseling a person with AS or autism presents a unique challenge for the mental health care provider. We have compiled this review consisting of some recent ideas regarding counseling the client with AS with the goal of providing some clinical insights and practical clues. Although the focus of the present paper is largely on AS, many of these strategies could also apply to individuals with high-functioning autism (HFA).
