ABSTRACT
The global burden of Conduct Disorder and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is significant, particularly in male children. The comorbidity of the two disorders seems to combine the worst features of both disorders. As both the conditions significantly impacts occupational functioning, it highlights the necessity for specialized intervention. This case report aims to contribute to the limited evidence base by integrating occupational therapy with technology to address difficulties in daily occupations in these co-morbid conditions. One male subject was recruited in the Outpatient Department, Occupational Therapy unit at KEM Hospital.The SCOPE, ESQ, and MOAS scores were evaluated at baseline and following the 6-months intervention. Intervention was based on Model of Human Occupation, Motivational Interviewing and behavioural approaches along with the use of technology. Findings showed increased SCOPE and ESQ scores, and decreased MOAS scores, indicating improvements in behaviour, executive functioning and occupational participation. Hence, this case report illustrated the effectiveness of combining Occupational Therapy with technology to improve overall occupational functioning in an adolescent with co-morbid conditions.
