Active Comparator
Virtual Reality Timocco
Conventional OT intervention
The study group will integrate the use of Timocco in occupational therapy sessions. The session will begin with 15 minutes of spatial activity involving sensory-motor practice, 15 minutes of activity in a virtual environment, and 15 minutes of structured activity at a desk.
The control group will be given conventional occupational therapy without using Timocco. In order to ensure that the therapy sessions in this group have a structure similar to that one used in the study group, each session will include 25 to 30 minutes of spatial sensory-motor activity, followed by 15 to 20 minutes of structured practice at a desk.
