Part 10 Flashcards
• Beginning no later than the first IEP in effect on a student’s __th birthday, the IEP must include:
16th
• Documentation of transition
• Goals for after high school in the areas of:
• Employment
• Education and/or training
• Independent living (if needed)
• A high school course of study (4 year plan)
• Including classes to reasonably enable the child to achieve his/her postsecondary goals
• Summary of age appropriate assessment which provides evidence that the postsecondary goals are based on student’s interests, strengths and preferences
• Transition activities (aka action steps) designed to move the student towards the attainment of their goals
• Evidence the student was invited to attend the IEP meeting when transition is discussed
• IEP goals that will support progression towards a student’s postsecondary goals
• Coordination with outside agencies that may support a student upon graduation, after obtaining parents’ permission
• Evidence that the postsecondary goals were updated annually as a result of ongoing assessment and reflection
Reevaluation should be done when
- Frequency depends on dx and medical course and progress
- When goals are met or no progress has been made
- After a major medical change
- Minimum of once per month (inpatient) or twice a year (outpatient)
- Know your diagnoses and typical progression
Medical model in inpatient/outpatient
- Goals may address any areas, which are impeding child’s functional independence (feeding groups, range of motion, orthopedic injuries, splinting, etc.)
- At LeBonheur, treatment settings include: rehab gym, various treatment rooms, sensory motor playground, YMCA, LEAD classrooms, etc.
- Direct contact with caregivers— HUGE for parent education and carryover at home
The theory of mind hypothesis defines the social dysfunction in ASD as the result of _____
disruptions in processes leading to the acquisition of the capacity to conceive of other people’s and one’s own mind.
Weak Central Coherence Hypothesis
Tendency to process all stimuli in a fragmented fashion, focusing on details rather than integrated and meaningful wholes, which results in a piecemeal and disjointed internal social world
Executive Function Hypothesis
• A child with executive dysfunction has:
o Problems with general learning because of perseveration and poor regulation.
o Difficulties with Change
o Reduced forward planning
o Ineffective problem solving skills
• Usually does well with familiar tasks in familiar contexts with familiar people, but struggles with understanding and dealing with new tasks in unfamiliar context with unfamiliar people.
Peer-Mediated Intervention
• Improved regulation and organization in responses to sensory input and improved communication.
.
• This educational intervention model includes typically developing children who are partnered with children with disabilities to effect some type of behavioral change in the children with disabilities
Sensory Integration Intervention
The Self-Determination Theory
• Satisfaction of the needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness promotes well-being.
o Autonomy - having a sense of choice, initiative, and endorsement of one’s activities.
o Competency - a sense of mastery over one’s capacity to act in the environment.
o Relatedness denotes feelings of closeness and connectedness to significant others
Social Cognitive Theory
• Supports the idea that children learn by observing the behavior of others. Groups based on this theory include two phases, acquisition and performance.
o During acquisition, a child observes the behavior of others and its consequences. The child remembers this observation for later use.
o During the performance phase, the child performs the behavior based on his or her perception of the situation and its consequences.

• Power cards-
Child’s special interests or heroes are used to help facilitate appropriate behaviors in social situations and routines. The therapist writes a scenario of the hero advocating the correct behavior
• Privacy Circles-
Used to help children identify which topics or activities are appropriate to discuss or to do with different people and in various settings
Applied Behavior Analysis
- A didactic approach to help children perform socially significant behaviors through a reinforce training technique. Why is a person/ child acting the way that the do.
- The systematic study of variables that influence ones behavior
