Abstract
In the cognitive orientation to daily occupational performance (CO-OP) approach, parent involvement is critical for transferring skills from therapeutic settings to everyday contexts. This study aimed to gain insight into the experience of parents whose children with developmental coordination disorder participated in CO-OP intervention. This consolidation of three small qualitative studies investigating parents' experience involved an inductive qualitative content analysis of 10 parent interviews and 1 parent focus group. Four overarching themes emerged as depicting parents' experience. Although parents recognized the improvements their children made with the intervention, they also expressed several challenges, such as incorporating CO-OP tasks into daily routines, shifting of parent-child relationship and feeling self-efficacious with the approach. This study highlights that parent observation of intervention sessions is not enough to support parents applying CO-OP at home. Research is needed to understand how to best engage parents in the CO-OP approach.
