Abstract
Ataxia-telangiectasia is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia, oculomotor apraxia, and choreoathetosis. Ataxia-telangiectasia is a devastating disease that negatively affects the participation of patients in daily occupations and consequently has adverse impacts on the quality of life of them and their families. This study aimed to investigate the effects of an occupational therapy intervention based on the Person-Environment-Occupation Model (PEO) on a 9-year old boy with ataxia-telangiectasia. Following a ten-session intervention, the client experienced significant improvement in occupational performance as well as participation in daily occupations as measured by Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI), respectively.
