Pediatric Normative Criterion Testing Flashcards
Components of a developmental assessment.
There are 6..
Cognitive ability Communication Motor/ physical skill Adaptive skills Social, emotional , and behavioral functioning Sensory process
Denver II test
COVERS: personal, social, fine motor, language, gross motor
AGE RANGE: 2 weeks to 6 years
BENEFITS: high specificity and can be done in 20 min.
DRAWBACKS: LOW SENSITIVITY since it only picks up 50% of delays (high false negative)
It is a NORMATIVE TEST
Alberta infant motor scales (AIMS)
TEST: gross motor
AGE: birth to 18 months
Can be done in 10-20 min with minimal handling
Breaks done skills into: prone, supine, sit, stand
NORMATIVE DATA
HARRIS INTANT NEUROMOTOR TEST (HINT)
TESTS: neuromotor milestones, active and passive muscle tone, head circumference, stereotypical movement patterns, behavioral interactions,caregiver assessment of infant interaction AGE: 3-12 months TIME: less than 30 min Normative test (screening tool) Reliability .98 validity .89
Test infant motor performance (TIMP)
TEST: motor test: looking at postural and selective control needed for functional movements.
AGE: infants 4 months and below including 32 week premature.
Normative referenced test
TIME: 25-35 min
General movement assessment (GMA)
TEST: Assesses spontaneous movements of preterm, term newborns and young infants
Qualitative test! Done by observation
EFFECTIVE IN PREDICTING NEUROLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS PARTICULAR CEREBRAL PALSY AT AGE 2.
Sensitivity: 95-100%
Specificity: 92.5-96%
Effectiveness: 83%
Two hallmarks of general movements: writhing and fidgety.
Movement assessment of infants
Test: muscle tone, reflexes,automatic reactions, and volition all movements.
The purpose of the test is to identify motor dysfunction.
Age: birth to 1 year
CRITERION BASED ON 65 ITEMS
Area of testing: muscle testing, reflexes, automatic reactions, and volitional movement.
It is sensitive to predict motor dysfunction at later age
Poor specificity. (FALSE NEGATIVE).
What can a developmental assessment do?
Identify Possible developmental problems and the need for further diagnostic evaluation.
Provide an objective description of the child’s abilities and deficits
Determine eligibility for programs such as early intervention programs
(they need to have at least 25% disability).
Aid in planning appropriate intervention.
Sensory processing measure
TEST: sensory integration test. It provides a complete picture of sensory processing impairments at school and home AGE: 5-12 years It has a parent an teacher rating scale Takes 20 min to perform Normative reference test
Sensory integration and praxis test (SIPT)
TEST: sensory integration AGE: 4 years to 8 years and 11 months 2 hours for the whole battery!!! Normative reference test Qualifications needed to administer
Infant/toddler sensory profile
Test: sensory processing
AGE: birth to 3 years
Standardized (criterion)??
Peabody developmental motor scale
Texas requires that physical therapist do this at evaluation. (Needed for Medicaid)
TEST: Assesses both qualitative Andy quantitative aspects of gross and fine motor development in young children. HELPS RECOMMEND INTERVENTIONS
AGE: birth to 6 years
Time: 45-60 min
Normative test based on 2000 plus children
Batterie developmental inventory
TEST: developmental assessment for early childhood by testing personal-social, adaptive, motor, communication, and cognitive ability
Age: birth to 7 years 11 months
Normative test
Bayley III
TEST: identify children with developmental delay and provide information for intervention planning. Social emotional, adaptive, language, motor ad cognitive
AGE: 1 month to 42 months.
Normative test
IT HAS BEEN PROVEN TO UNDERESTIMATE LATER IMPAIRMENTS!!!
Hawaii Early learning profile
TEST: cognitive, language, gross motor, fine motor, social, adaptive.
Normative test
Age: birth to 3
Promotes cross disciplinary help.
Comes with activity guide to assist in treatment plan
