Domain 3 Flashcards
Sensory modulation problem
inability of CNS to regulate responses to sensory input from common daily stimuli resulting in: hyper-responsive, hypo-responsive, sensory-seeking
Sensory processing
Ability of the CNS to interpret and regulate responses to sensory input
Hypo- responsiveness
A form of sensory modulation in which the central nervous system is slow to register or process sensory input Behavioral characteristics include but are not limited to lack of response to:
socially-relevant signals
painful stimuli
alarms and flashing lights
Tactile defensiveness
Inability of the central nervous system to regulate tactile input resulting in overreaction to ordinary touch sensations on the skin or in the mouth Behavioral manifestations may include: extreme discomfort emotional outbursts aggression anxiety
Gravitational insecurity
Inability of the central nervous system to regulate vestibular input resulting in overreaction to changes in head position and movement during ordinary activities Behavioral manifestations may include intense fear or avoidance of:
riding on toys
heights
gross motor activities
Emotional regulation development: Neurophysiologic modulation phase
Phase of emotion regulation development, occurring between birth and 2-3 months of age Characterized by ability to:
regulate arousal (e.g., self-soothe, respond to parental soothing)
activate organized patterns of behavior (e.g., routine sleep-wake cycles)
Emotional regulation development: Sensorimotor modulation phase
Phase of emotion regulation development, occurring between 3-9 months of age Characterized by:
enjoyment of sensorimotor play
sensory exploration
possible sensory modulation challenges
Emotional regulation development: Control phase
Phase of emotion regulation development, occurring between 12-18 months of age Characterized by:
emerging awareness of social demands
varying levels of inhibition and compliance
self-initiated monitoring related to an understanding of consequences
Emotional regulation development: Self-control phase
Phase of emotion regulation development, occurring between 24-48 months of age Characterized by:
emerging sense of identity
demonstrated knowledge of social rules
minimal flexibility and adaptation to change
Emotional regulation development: Self-regulation phase
Phase of emotion regulation development, occurring between 36 months of age and older Characterized by emerging:
flexibility to adapt to unexpected change
self-awareness
capacity to evaluate own behavior
Stage of motor learning: Perceptual learning
Stage of motor learning development, occurring between 3-6 months of age where the infant uses perceptual skills developed through exploration Characterized by:
more accurate and direct reach
consistency of movement patterns
engagement in trial-and-error learning
Stage of motor learning: Skill achievement
Stage of motor learning development, occurring between 6–9 months of age Characterized by:
high adaptability
both perceptual learning and increased self-organization
using action patterns that are orderly and efficient
Autism spectrum disorder
Neurodevelopmental disorder commonly referred to as a pervasive developmental disorder May be characterized by a wide range of: social dysfunction stereotypical behavior patterns perseverative thoughts or interests sensory processing deficits executive dysfunction
Attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder
Neurobehavioral disorder characterized by inappropriate or excessive display of one or more of the following behaviors: inattention restlessness impulsivity emotional dysregulation sensory processing social immaturity
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder
Congenital birth defect secondary to gestational exposure to alcohol resulting in mild to severe impairment in one or more of the following areas of development: physical cognitive social behavior
Righting reactions (3)
Postural reflex present from approximately 3 months to 6 months of age that functions to orient the body in response to visual and vestibular input Examples include:
neck on body
body on body
body on head
Protective extension
Postural response present at approximately 6 months of age and continues throughout life, characterized by reflexive straightening of the upper extremities in response to a loss of balance
Equilibrium reaction
Postural reflex present at approximately 6 months of age and continues throughout the life span Reflexive response to help maintain or recover balance, includes shifting the body to reorient to midline
Developmental dyspraxia
Neurodevelopmental disorder (also called developmental coordination disorder) Characterized by: clumsiness and poor coordination motor planning deficits learning difficulties perceptual deficits (visual and motor)
Sensory-seeking behavior
Actions characterized by craving input from a variety of senses and experiences, typically associated with:
altered sensory processing ability
challenges with regulation of arousal level
atypical praxis
hyper- or hypo-responsivity
Protective factor
Factors in the social environment that support health, wellness, and preparedness for adverse or stressful events, including:
access to supportive relationships and nurturing
awareness of resources
insight and capacity to use coping strategies
Self-verbalization strategies
Cognitive strategy where an individual learns to talk out loud to regulate or control behaviors
Video modeling
Intervention technique frequently used to teach a specific motor or social skill by having a client/child watch a video of the skill being performed then attempting to imitate the task
Social script
Narrative used to promote social participation or a skill to children, written from the perspective of the child, and practiced for use in a variety of contexts Typical narratives relate to:
giving or receiving compliments
asking for or giving help
self-introductions
