This book will expose the practitioner to cognitive and motor learning theories that provide the underpinnings of the CO-OP approach. Case descriptions are used to help therapists learn how to conduct dynamic performance analysis of children experiencing difficulty with task performance. Experiential activities are suggested to familiarize therapists with specific cognitive strategies. Therapists will learn the framework necessary for the development, application, and generalization of cognitive strategies. This book is practice oriented so that therapists will acquire the skills necessary to become more 'top-down' in their clinical reasoning as well as develop many of the techniques that guide strategy acquisition in children.
The accompanying CD makes using the CO-OP tools easy! For ages 4 and up.
