Occupation-based Self-Regulation Intervention Program
The intervention includes both group and individual applications. It has a large occupation/activity pool that can be selected in a person-centered manner. The activities are focused on supporting and developing the areas of influence in the sensory processing skills of individuals or the areas in executive functions, and providing occupations that will replace the screen and shape life in children for the screen abuse. It shapes the will, habits and routines necessary for the child to prefer alternative activities instead of the screen. For this purpose, an intervention program has been shaped to ensure that the child gains in the areas of daily life activities, productivity activities and leisure activities with the right developing skills, the child's wishes, the family's wishes, social expectations. As far as we know, it is the first flood regulation intervention program applied to children with screen addiction from an occupational therapy perspective.
