Over 8 weeks, the intervention addressed goals collaboratively identified by the mother, including self-care, productivity, and leisure-related tasks. Results revealed clinically significant improvements, with a two-point increase in Canadian Occupational Performance Measure scores for both performance and satisfaction. Significant score increases were also obtained on the Parent-Child Relationship Scale and the Early Intervention Parenting Self-Efficacy Scale. The findings underscore the effectiveness of tele-occupational performance coaching in enhancing family dynamics and parental capabilities while emphasizing the potential of telehealth as a scalable and accessible modality for delivering family-centered occupational therapy. Future research should expand on these findings by incorporating diverse populations and assessing long-term outcomes.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAutism Spectrum DisorderCoachingMotherOccupational PerformanceEmpowering a Mother of Children With Autism: a Case Report on the Impact of Tele-Occupational Performance Coaching on Parent-Child Relationships, Maternal Self-Efficacy, and Occupational PerformanceArticleN/AQ4WOS:001509822900001
