Abstract [sv]

Inledning och Bakgrund: Flertalet elever med Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) uppnår inte kunskapsmålen i skolan. Eleverna kan ha svårigheter att förbereda och färdigställa uppgifter. Svårigheterna för eleverna med Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) gäller vanligtvis instruktioner och förståelse för uppgifter. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att identifiera vilka arbetsterapeutiska interventioner som används i skolan för elever med diagnoserna ASD och/eller ADHD. Metod: Studien genomfördes i form av en scoping review. Resultat: Totalt inkluderades 13 artiklar. Resultatet visade på fyra teman av interventioner: Aktiviteter för förbättring av kognitiva strategier, Kognitiva hjälpmedel för ökad delaktighet, Stabilitets-/terapibollar och tyngdvästar för större fokus på skoluppgifter samt Strategier för att förbättra utförande av aktiviteter i skolan. Slutsats: Det finns en variation av arbetsterapeutiska interventioner i skolan för elever med ASD och/eller ADHD. Interventionerna ledde till ökad delaktighet, förbättrade kognitiva strategier, större fokus på skoluppgifter, medvetenhet av känslor, ökad självständighet, samt förbättring av koncentrationen för eleverna i skolan.

Abstract [en]

Introduction and Background: Most students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) do not achieve the knowledge goals in school. Students might have difficulties preparing and completing assignments. The difficulties for students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) usually relate to instructions and understanding tasks. Aim: The aim of the study was to identify which occupational therapy interventions are used in school for students aged 9–13 years with diagnoses ASD and/or ADHD. Method: The study was conducted in form of a scoping review. Results: In total, 13 articles were included. The results showed four themes of interventions: Activities for improving cognitive strategies, Cognitive aids for increased participation, Stability/therapy balls and weighted vests for greater focus on school tasks and Strategies for improving the performance of activities at school. Conclusion: There is a variety of occupational therapy interventions in school for students with ASD and/or ADHD. The interventions led to increased participation, improved cognitive strategies, greater focus on school tasks, awareness of emotions, increased independence, and improved concentration for students in school.
