Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study explores the use of occupational performance coaching (OPC) with three parent–child dyads using descriptive case study methodology. OPC is a parent-directed intervention in which parents are coached to improve their own or their children's performance in home and community contexts. In this study, parent and child performance was examined using a pre–post intervention design with the key outcome measures being the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and goal attainment scaling (GAS). Parent experiences of engaging with a therapist using OPC were explored through thematic analysis of interviews with parents after completing intervention. Themes relating to learning, changes at home, and the challenges and rewards of OPC emerged from interviews with parents. Results indicate that OPC may be a useful intervention for therapists seeking to achieve occupational performance outcomes with children and parents. Further research avenues are described.
