Summary

Adolescents with neuro-developmental disabilities such as attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), specific learning disabilities (LD) and developmental coordination disorder (DCD) display functional difficulties in all performance areas (daily functions, learning, playing, leisure activities, and social participation). These problems hinder their ability to perform and participate effectively in everyday life.

Difficulties in meta-cognitive components, particularly Executive Functions (EF), are the underlying mechanisms of these disorders and challenge the functioning of this population. Therefore it is important to refer them to occupational therapists specializing in daily functions and individualized intervention. The proposed model for assessment and therapy, Functional Individualized Therapy for Teenagers with Executive Deficits (FITTED) takes into account the environmental requirements, the person (the adolescent and his pertinent issues), this in accordance with the classifications of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth (ICF-CY) (WHO, 2007) World Health Organization, the occupational model and dynamic meta-cognitive models. FITTED serves as a basis for an individual evaluation and intervention program that emphasizes the individual's personal strengths and weaknesses in daily functions: Body functions (meta-cognitive - EF and awareness); Activity in various fields and Participation in daily functions. The model will serve as a guide for an intervention program that will be based upon determining functional goals and achievement of these goals through meta-cognitive strategies that will allow adolescents optimal participation in their environments.
