How do we Establish, restore and maintain- treatment which can address child’s difficulties according to developmental sequence for ADLs?
Backward chaining - child does the last step
Forward chaining - child does the first step.
Backward chaining -
child does the last step. Your progress to backing off more each time. You give them success to finish the task
forward chaining
child does the first step. Then the first two, eventually they do the whole thing.
How do you create ADL interventions that Modify or Adapt
using adaptive equipment
velcro shoes
adaptive spoons
sippy cups
In order for a assistive device to be worthwhile it must:

Assist in the task the child is trying to complete
Be acceptable to the child and family
Be practical
Be durable and easy to clean
Be expandable
Be safe for the child to use
Have a system of maintenance or replacement
Meet the cost constraints of family or purchasing agency
How can we modify the environment ?
Architectural Barriers
Structural changes
Assistive Devices
Task modifications
Work surface
Positioning

how can we achieve independence to prevent a further need down the line.
this might mean that we need to educate parents.
