With this, a Quantitative-Descriptive method was used. A total of 10 respondents who met the inclusion criteria were given a survey form derived from the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) through Google Forms, which included close-ended questions presented on a 7-point Likert scale that focuses on the importance, performance and satisfaction. The results indicated that caregivers placed importance on their child's ability to perform toileting and toilet hygiene after OT Telehealth, with evaluations of Extremely Important. In terms of performance, the caregivers provided Very Good Performance evaluations, which implies that the child's performance improved after OT Telehealth.
