What and why

Co-SMART tests whether a cognitive strategy intervention can be delivered, accepted, and measured in a real clinical setting before a full-scale trial. Cognitive strategy approaches teach children to plan, do, and check their own performance on chosen everyday goals, with the support of a therapist.

A feasibility trial answers practical questions before a definitive trial: can we recruit the right number of participants, can therapists deliver the intervention as intended, are the outcome measures acceptable, and are the procedures workable in the NHS.
