Occupational therapy home program

After evaluating the children, an occupational therapy home intervention program will be developed for each child. The program will be monitored through telephone and computer interviews, as well as video, photo, and audio recordings. The interventions in this study were selected based on successful occupational therapy home programs for children with disabilities. The program consists of five steps. Step 1 is to establish collaborative relationships with parents. Step 2 is to determine the most appropriate goals for the child and their family. Step 3 involves selecting the most suitable therapeutic activities to achieve these goals. Step 4 is to educate and support parents in performing these therapeutic activities. Finally, Step 5 involves measuring the results and providing feedback.
