Q

How should you handle variability in milestones?

A

Understand that there is a wide range and variability in how movement develops.

21
Q

Why is flexibility important in pediatric practice?

A

Flexibility is essential due to the variability in child development and individual needs.

22
Q

What is the role of the instructor in Baby Lab?

A

The instructor is there to support students, especially if they have concerns about development.

23
Q

What is a key psychometric property of AIMS?

A

It is a norm-referenced observational measure of infant motor development.

24
Q

How should infants be observed during the AIMS assessment?

A

Observe spontaneous movement with minimal handling.

25
Q

What is the importance of parents during Baby Lab?

A

Parents often love to show off their baby, so allow them time to share their child’s abilities.

26
Q

What is a major factor in scoring AIMS?

A

Mark items within the developmental window as either observed or not observed.

27
Q

What are the subscale scores for the AIMS assessment?

A

Scores for prone, supine, sitting, and standing are calculated and totaled.

28
Q

What is the developmental window in AIMS?

A

It is the range from least mature to most mature skills for the infant’s age.

29
Q

How is the AIMS percentile calculated?

A

Use the graph to find the percentile based on the child’s total score.

30
Q

How many groups are involved in the Baby Lab?

A

Three groups, each with one infant and one caregiver.

31
Q

What should students do if they are nervous about handling babies?

A

Take initiative and be present, even if nervous, with support from the instructor.

32
Q

How are scores calculated for items prior to the window in AIMS?

A

Items before the window are automatically scored as 1 point each.

33
Q

How do you determine which items fall within the AIMS developmental window?

A

Mark the least mature and most mature skills, and items in between form the window.

34
Q

What is the scoring for items observed within the AIMS window?

A

1 point for observed and 0 points for not observed.

35
Q

How should you plot the age for percentile ranking?

A

Plot the child’s age to the nearest week.

36
Q

What is the focus of caregiver education in Baby Lab?

A

Recommendations for play activities, positions, and toys to encourage development.

37
Q

How can you prepare for Baby Lab?

A

Review developmental milestones, AIMS scoring, and practice observation skills.

38
Q

Why is it important to let parents talk about their child’s development?

A

It helps build rapport and provides insights into the child’s abilities.

39
Q

What is the purpose of the Baby Lab?

A

To practice assessing infant motor skills and provide caregiver education.

40
Q

What is the highest validity age range for the AIMS?

A

4-9 months.

41
Q

What are some challenges students might face during Baby Lab?

A

Nervousness around babies, flexibility in observations, and developmental variability.

42
Q

What positions are assessed in AIMS?

A

Prone, supine, sitting, and standing.

43
Q

How long does it take to complete the AIMS for experienced clinicians?

A

10-15 minutes.

44
Q

What should be included in the history for Baby Lab evaluation?

A

Detailed observations of the child’s motor skills and developmental milestones.

45
Q

What should students focus on during the Baby Lab observation?

A

Assessing spontaneous movement, motor development, and caregiver interaction.

46
Q

How many infants are assessed in the Baby Lab?

A

Three infants: Eleanor, Piper, and Nora.

47
Q

What is an example of a recommendation for caregiver education?

A

Encourage play activities that promote motor development in various positions.

48
Q

What do students need to submit after the Baby Lab?

A

A SOAP note with subjective and objective observations.
