The instruments of Occupational Therapy used for the assessment of the population under study were: The Occupational Self- Assessment (OSA) for the variable Infantilization and the Initial Profile of the Human Occupation Model (MOHOTS) for the variable Self-efficacy in aspects of motivation and occupation pattern, where it is evident that structuring habits and routines, taking care of myself, managing basic needs, managing finances and expressing myself with others is a big problem or difficult for them.
