What is critical in establishing a primary attachment relationship with a caregiver and fostering feelings of security in the infant?
TACTILE sensations are critical in establishing a primary attachment relationship with a caregiver and fostering feelings of security in the infant
What systems/inputs set the stage for the eventual development of body schema?
Tactile and proprioceptive inputs set the stage for the eventual development of body schema
T/F: The vestibular system is fully functional at birth.
True.
T/F: At the end of the second year, beginning independence in self-feeding.
False. At the end of the FIRST year, beginning independence in self-feeding
When does Praxis and Ideation (ability to conceptualize what to do in a given situation) begin to develop?
Second year.
T/F: Child can connect several pretend actions in a play sequence; can also demonstrate they have a plan by the end of the third year.
False. Child can connect several pretend actions in a play sequence; can also demonstrate they have a plan by end of SECOND year.
Is it a sensory registration or modulation problem that interferes with child’s ability to attach meaning to an activity or situation because critical info is not being noticed?
Sensory REGISTRATION problem interferes with child’s ability to attach meaning to an activity or situation because critical info is not being noticed.
Sensory registration: refers to difficulties of a person who frequently does not notice or “register” relevant environmental stimuli.
Considered to be a problem of under-responsiveness or over responsiveness?
It is under-responsiveness or hypo-responsiveness.
Another name for hyper-responsiveness is…
Sensory defensiveness.
What is one of most common observed sensory modulation problems? Hint: Involves tendency to over-react to ordinary touch sensations.
Tactile Defensiveness.
What is haptic perception and when does it emerge?
Child’s interpretation of somatosensory info through active touch to understand object properties and characteristics (stereognosis?) Emerges at 6 months, matures at 5 or 6 years
What does this child have?
Form of over-responsiveness to vestibular sensations involving linear movement, overwhelmed by changes in head position and movement, especially when moving backward or upward through space, move slowly and carefully, may refuse to engage in gross motor activities, resist lifting feet off ground
Gravitational Insecurity
Brain’s process of giving meaning to sensory info such as facial expression is known as…
Sensory perception.
This refers to brain’s ability to distinguish between different sensory stimuli such as 2 points touched on skin simultaneously
Sensory discrimination.
T/F scores within one standard deviation from the mean are NOT significantly from average. There is no need for OT intervention
True
Who funds OT services ?
Regional centers, school districts, California children services (CCS), health insurance, dept of mental health, private pay
T/F: Discrimination or perception problems can occur in any sensory system-best detected by standardized tests
True
Medical necessity required for which funding sources?
Insurance, CCS, MediCal
Support access to related to educational curriculum environment required for which funding source?
School district
Supporting development and participation in natural environments for which funding source?
Regional center
PEO stands for
Person- environment- occupation (model of practice)
Mode of practice focuses on musculoskeletal system- strengthening, alignment/posture, positioning
Biomechanical
Mode of practice- goal directed movements, movement patterns+ environmental conditions+ goal; practice! Feedback!
Motor learning
Modes of practice- normalizing movement patterns, focus on postural control and motor coordination deficits, based on motor learning and dynamic systems theories
NDT
Made of practice- scaffolding, just right challenge, Vygotsky, Piaget, Gibson
Developmental
The muscles and joints inform the brain about the position of body parts is what system/input?
Proprioceptive.
Disorder- social and communication deficits, repetitive and restrictive behaviors; deficits in social-emotional reciprocity, nonverbal communication behaviors, insistence on sameness; symptoms cause clinically significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of current functioning
Autism spectrum disorder
What are the types of progression relating to the sequencing of grasp patterns?
- Ulnar fingers show activation before radial fingers and thumb
- Palmar grasp (proximal) patterns precede finger grasp (distal) patterns
- Extrinsic muscle activation dominates before intrinsic muscle activation
These are the types of vestibular-bilateral problems…
- Inefficient balance and equilibrium reactions, as well as poor bilateral coordination are likely to affect competence in performing activities such as bicycle riding, roller-skating, skiing, etc.
- Difficulty with bilateral coordination - cutting w/ scissors, buttoning a shirt, jumping jacks, etc
- Bilateral motor difficulties sometimes associated with delays in body midline skill development - hand preference, spontaneous crossing of midline, and R/L discrimination
By what age does the voluntary palmar grasp emerge?
Within the first 3 months
By what age is a child able to use the thumb and finger pad control for tiny and small objects?
Between 9-12 months
Mode of practice- Structure, reinforcement, learning, shaping, positive behavioral support
Behavioral
Mode of practice- top down approaches: increase child’s number of cognitive strategies, selection of strategies, use of strategies, evaluating effectiveness
Cognitive
Mode of practice - organizing sensory information for use
Sensory integration
Mode of practice- addressing skills impacting access and participation of social play, use of peer models, social skills training
Social participation
Mode of practice- environmental assessment and task demands, changes environment to better match child ability, often used in conjunction with remediation focused intervention
Adaptation/ compensatory
Mode of practice- cognitive-behavioral strategies, improve child’s ability to manage stress, typically used with children with social emotional difficulties
Coping
Mode of practice- reciprocal relationship between learner and coach, used in early childhood settings, often used with direct intervention
Coaching / consultation
T/F: Dyspraxia is the ability to conceptualize, plan, and execute a nonhabitual motor act is
False. This is praxis
Condition characterized by difficulty with motor planning that emerges in early childhood and cannot be explained by medical diagnosis, developmental disability, or environmental constraint
Dyspraxia
What grasp is used to control tools or other objects?
Power grasp
What grasp is used to carry objects such as a purse or briefcase?
Hook grasp
What grasp is used to hold a small ball?
Spherical grasp
Poor tactile perception in conjunction with signs of poor motor planning (difficulty relating bodies to physical objects in space, difficulty imitating actions of others, precision of movement poor, difficulties with oral praxis, affecting eating skills or speech articulation)
Somatodyspraxia
What grasp is used to hold a glass, cup, or can with a hand around the object?
Cylindrical grasp
