Q

Examples of sensory problems/solutions for kids with autism:

70
Q

What are the basic assumptions underlying SI intervention?

A
  1. SI can be used systematically to elicit an AR (adapted response)
  2. Registration of meaningful SI is necessary before an AR can be made
  3. An AR contributes to the development of SI
  4. Better organization of ARs enhances the child’s general behavioral organization
  5. More mature and complex patterns of behavior emerge from consolidation of simpler behaviors
  6. The more inner-directed a child’s activities are, the greater the potential for the activities to improve neural organization
71
Q

Important things to know about application of SI Intervention:

A

SI is applied on an individual basis. Must foster the inner drive of the child. OT must create environments that continually evokes increasingly complex ARs from the child. Respect child’s needs while helping them successfully meet a challenge
