Summary

The purpose of the study will be to determine the effects of the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) as a treatment program for individuals with Parkinson's disease-related cognitive impairment. The potential effects of the CO-OP on successful engagement in meaningful activities will be examined from participants' and live-in caregivers' perspectives. Effects of the CO-OP on participant-perceived health-related quality of life and caregiver burden will also be evaluated. Hypotheses: 1. Training with the CO-OP will have an effect or multiple effects on participation in meaningful activities and health-related quality of life for individuals with Parkinson's-related cognitive impairment. 2. Training with the CO-OP will have an effect or multiple effects on caregiver burden and health-related quality of life for caregivers of individuals with Parkinson's-related cognitive impairment.

Conditions

• Parkinson's Disease
• Cognitive Impairment

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	CO-OP treatment protocol	Participants with Parkinson's disease will be participating in up to 12 one-on-one treatment sessions with 2 sessions per week, for up to 6 weeks. Each session will last 45-60 minutes. During these treatment sessions, each participant will be taught a problem-solving strategy that teaches individuals to monitor and adjust their own actions. Participants will be guided by the principal investigator to select 5 individual treatment goals to work on during treatment. Sessions will continue until all 5 treatment goals have been met or until 12 sessions have been completed, whichever occurs earlier. Initially, each participant's respective primary caregiver will be required to attend treatment sessions, so that the caregiver may be familiar with the treatment strategy in order to coach the participant with Parkinson's disease when you he or she uses the strategy at home.
