intellectual & developmental delay Flashcards
PT might attend more closely to
- growth & development of body systems
- body functions
- child’s ability to learn and perform
OT might look more closely at the child’s
- sensory/motor integration and engagement in daily activities
when kids try to eat OT looks at
- task of feeding
- fine motor & oral motor control
- safety of feeding, risk factors and progression of textures
when kids color OT looks at
- task, what skills & factors are needed
- coordination & visual motor integration
- what child wants
- environment
when kids dress OT looks at
- developmentally appropriate
- texture issue
- poor identity of body awareness
activity analysis
for task involved skills needed body structures
cognitive process
attention, sequencing cognitive process
context
environment, temporal
evaluation
- observe
- assess
- interview
where should child be observed?
in natural environment
What can we use or how do you assess a child?
formal assessments or screening tool
who do you interview?
child
caregiver
instructor
coach
what is growth?
process of child’s body increasing in:
- physical size
- structures associated with body systems
what is development?
- child’s maturation
- involving increasingly complex body functions
- differentiation of functional skills over time
what are principles helpful for?
recognizing patterns of growth and development
principle of growth & development #1
simple to complex
principle of growth & development #2
cephalocaudal development
cephalocaudal development
- development occurs form head down toward toes
- applies to head size and control first
simple to complex
- body develops from simple, undifferentiated cells to highly complex body structures
-applies to motor and intellectual development
principle of growth & development #3
continuous process
continuous process
- continuous with predictable sequence and variation
- development builds on previous skills
- potential for regression
principle of growth & development #4
proximodistal development
proximodistal development
- development occurs from center of body, outward
- applies physically and to skills
principle of growth & development #5
maturation
