Abstract
We used the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach to intervene in a stroke patient with impaired cognitive function. This purpose was for the client to acquire cooking and problem-solving skills. As a result, this intervention helped the client acquire skills and achieve her goals. In addition, the client could transfer the skills to other occupations, indicating that the CO-OP approach may be useful for goal attainment, skill acquisition, generalization, and transfer in stroke patients with cognitive impairments. In cases of impaired attention, memory, and executive function, it is important to intervene using techniques such as chaining and task accommodation as enabling principles with the characteristics of the disability in mind.
