SUMMARY

The purpose of this research study is to use the Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach with people who have experienced a stroke. This method helps individuals improve how they perform daily tasks by teaching them problem-solving strategies. This study will answer the following main questions: Does the CO-OP approach help participants perform their daily activities more easily? Does the CO-OP approach support thinking skills such as planning and attention? Researchers will look at changes in participants' daily activity performance and thinking skills before and after the CO-OP sessions. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Complete simple tests before and after the sessions Practice real-life daily activities that are meaningful to them Intervention group: Will receive standard occupational therapy plus CO-OP sessions. The CO-OP sessions will take place 5 days a week for 4 weeks, with each session lasting 45 minutes. Control group: Will receive only standard occupational therapy as part of usual care.
