D
What is not considered a component of a comprehensive OT Evaluation?
a.
Environment
b.
Sibling observation
c.
Activity demands
d.
Occupational Profile
B
As part of the evaluation process, we have to determine a frame of reference most appropriate for this child. You are preparing for an evaluation of a 4.5 year old who is in preschool but the teacher and parents report that the child struggles with activities that demand visual and motor coordination such as walking along curbs or coloring within lines. The frame of reference you would use to prepare for your evaluation would be:
a.
Mental Health: Anxiety
b.
Sensory Processing
c.
Biomechanical
d.
Visual Perception
D
You are giving a norm-referenced standardized test to a 5 year old and this means the child’s performance is
a.
compared with a normal sample
b.
to determine what the child can or cannot do
c.
used to determine raw scores
d.
compared with a particular criterion or level of skill
A
When evaluating a young child we first get the referral and do our preliminary data gathering. We then interview parents/caregivers to obtain the Occupational Profile. Then what??
a.
Select only a standardized tool for further data collection
b.
Plan and implement the intervention
c.
Document the evaluation results
d.
Select and administer assessments that are necessary to determine a treatment plan
D
During a parent interview for a child in an Early Intervention Program (birth-3 years) , we are using what type of professional reasoning?
a.
Ethical
b.
Pragmatic
c.
Scientific
d.
Narrative
D
Classic theories of child development place great importance on a reflex substrate for the emergence of mature human behavior patterns. This means that
a.
In the typical child, postural control emerges from a complex interaction of musculoskeletal and neural systems in interaction with the task and the environment.
b.
In the typical child, postural control emerges from a complex interaction of neural systems in interaction with the task.
c.
In the typical child, the emergence of posture and movement control is dependent on the appearance and subsequent integration of reflexes.
d.
In the typical child, the emergence of posture and movement control is dependent on the development of reflexes.
C
According to findings from studies in system models, sensory aspects of postural control
a.
Shifts from a reliance of visual to proprioceptive by age 3.
b.
Shifts from a reliance of somatosensory to visual by age 3.
c.
Shifts from a predominance of visual control of balance to a somatosensory control of balance by 3 years of age.
d.
Shifts from a reliance of auditory to vestibular by age
C
You support an infant in sitting and tilt him to one side. You are observing
a.
Protective reactions sideways
b.
Downward parachute
c.
Asymmetrical tonic neck reflex
d.
Stance
A
More recent theories of motor control, such as the systems theory, sees the emergence of postural control resulting from
a.
Importance of experience and reflex integration.
b.
a complex interaction between neural and musculoskeletal systems
c.
importance of CNS maturation.
d.
None of the above.
B
According to the reflex theory of postural control, tonic attitudinal reflexes produce
a.
A sequentially organized series of equilibrium reactions.
b.
Changes in body posture that result from a change in head position
c.
Orientation of the head in space and orientation of the body in relationship to the head and ground.
d.
Capacity to build up appropriate internal representations related to posture and coordinating them with motor actions.
B
