Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 67/1 (janvier-février 2013) . - p. 117 Titre : Development and Reliability of the Autism Work Skills Questionnaire (AWSQ) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Eynat Gal ; Noomi KATZ ; Anat BEN MEIR Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p. 117 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autisme  Autoévaluation  Orientation professionnelle Résumé : OBJECTIVE. The Autism Work Skills Questionnaire (AWSQ), a new, comprehensive self-report assessment of a person’s vocational profile, was developed to help produce a good person–job match. This preliminary study was aimed at developing the questionnaire and determining its content validity and internal consistency. METHOD. Forty-six adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD), ages 18–39, were interviewed with the questionnaire. A two-phase study was conducted: (1) constructing the questionnaire and determining its content validity and (2) ascertaining internal consistency reliability. RESULTS. We found that the AWSQ had initial content validity and moderate to high internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s α = .64–.90). CONCLUSION. The AWSQ can be a useful clinical and research tool in occupational therapy for evaluating work skills of adults with HFASD. Further studies with larger samples and including both typically developing individuals and individuals with HFASD are required to further support the questionnaire’s reliability and validity.

Dynamic lowenstein occupational therapy cognitive assessment / Noomi KATZ in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 66/2 (mars-avril 2012)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 66/2 (mars-avril 2012) . - p. 207-214 Titre : Dynamic lowenstein occupational therapy cognitive assessment : evaluation of potential to change in cognitive performance Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Noomi KATZ ; et al. ; Liat LIVNI ; Asnat Bar-Haim Erez Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p. 207-214 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Accident cérébrovasculaire  Trouble apprentissage Résumé : OBJECTIVE. We studied the psychometric properties of the dynamic version of the Lowenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (DLOTCA) and examined the most frequent level of mediation used for planning for intervention. METHOD. Participants included 83 clients hospitalized after first stroke (mean age = 57.7, standard deviation = 8.33) and 45 healthy control participants. All were assessed with the DLOTCA after providing informed consent. RESULTS. Interrater reliability showed high correlations between all pairs of raters. Internal consistency reliability showed moderate to high αs (.602–.813) for all domains except Visual Perception. We found significant differences between the groups of participants before mediation; both benefited from mediation, showing moderate to high effect sizes. Stroke clients needed higher levels of mediation. CONCLUSION. The DLOTCA is effective in providing insight into whether participants need mediation and the level and type of assistance they require. The DLOTCA provides guidance for planning intervention for people with cognitive disabilities.

Dynamic lowenstein occupational therapy cognitive assessment–geriatric version (DLOTCA–G) / Noomi KATZ in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 66/3 (mai-juin 2012)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 66/3 (mai-juin 2012) . - p. 311-319 Titre : Dynamic lowenstein occupational therapy cognitive assessment–geriatric version (DLOTCA–G) : assessing change in cognitive performance Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Noomi KATZ ; Asnat Bar-Haim Erez ; Sarah AVERBUCH Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p. 311-319 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Développement intellectuel  Personne âgée Résumé : OBJECTIVE. We studied the internal consistency reliability and construct validity of the new Dynamic Lowenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment–Geriatric Version (DLOTCA–G), a dynamic version of the Lowenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment–Geriatric Version (LOTCA–G), and examined the properties of the mediation system. METHOD. Participants included 61 clients hospitalized after stroke in three rehabilitation centers (mean age = 77.6 yr, standard deviation [SD] = 6.2) and 52 healthy control participants (mean age = 77.8 yr, SD = 6.4). All participants were assessed with the DLOTCA–G. RESULTS. Internal consistency reliability showed moderate to high α coefficient levels in all domains (αs = .68–.85) except the Memory domain (α = .26). Both groups benefitted from mediation, but the stroke clients needed more concrete levels of mediation (Levels 3–5). CONCLUSION. The addition of mediation to the LOTCA–G is effective in providing insights into clients’ cognitive status and learning potential. Our findings are similar to the results of the validation study for the DLOTCA for adults and support the use and benefits of the dynamic version.

Effectiveness of occupational goal intervention for clients with schizophrenia / Noomi KATZ in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 65/3 (mai-juin 2011)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 65/3 (mai-juin 2011) . - p. 287-296 Titre : Effectiveness of occupational goal intervention for clients with schizophrenia Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Noomi KATZ ; Navah KEREN Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p. 287-296 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Schizophrénie  Fonction exécutive Résumé : OBJECTIVE. The effectiveness of Occupational Goal Intervention (OGI) in clients with schizophrenia was compared with that of the Frontal Executive Program and a control group. METHOD. We used a quasi-experimental design with 18 adult participants ages 20–38 who were randomly assigned to three groups. Testing was performed before treatment, after treatment, and at 6-mo follow-up(Time 2). Instruments assessed executive functions (EFs) and activity and participation. Participants received 18 treatment sessions over a period of 6–8 wk. RESULTS. We found no significant differences among the groups on pretest–posttest change; however, we did find significant differences within groups before and after intervention and moderate to high effect sizes. The OGI group showed relative improvement on all measures of EF and activity and participation. Most participants’ achievements were maintained at Time 2. CONCLUSIONS. Results provide initial support for the OGI’s effectiveness for clients with schizophrenia. Further studies are needed to verify these initial findings.
