N2  - CO-OP is a child-centred, cognitive based intervention, focused on enabling children to achieve their functional goals. It has been developed over the last nine years through a series of systematic studies that have specified the treatment protocol and evaluated its effect. Initially CO-OP was explored in two series of single case experimental studies. Subsequently, an informal follow-up study and a detailed analysis of the video-taped sessions of the approach were completed. Based on information from these studies, the approach was refined, key features elucidated and the protocol was specified. Next, a pilot randomized clinical trial was completed. The trial was conducted to determine how best to approach a full scale randomized clinical trial on the effectiveness of CO-OP, relative to the current therapeutic approach. Finally, a retrospective chart audit was carried out to examine the cumulative evidence on the effectiveness of CO-OP in improving the performance of children with DCD. This paper presents a detailed summary of these five studies and discusses the implications of the findings.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
