Sensory Integration and Sensory processing Flashcards
1
Q
Sensory integration
in therapy
A
- aims to improve the brains ability to process sensory information
- targeted structured therapy
2
Q
Sensory based interventions
A
- provides sensory experiences to address sensory processing disorders
3
Q
sensory processing disorder
A
- a condition when the brain has difficulty receiving and responding to information that comes through the senses
4
Q
What does sensory integration involve
A
- percieving,
- modulating,
- organizing
- interpreting sensations
`
5
Q
what does a well regulated system contribute to
A
- contribute to important outcomes in social-emotional, physical and motor, communciation, self care, cognitive and adaptive skills, developmental and maintenance
- differences in interpretation of stimuli can impact motor skills, and coordination which could futher limit participation
6
Q
Sensory integration reliability of clinical observations
A
- clinical observations can be administered reliably by multiple raters of varying levels of expereience
- good inter-rater reliability and demonstration of consistency of adminstration and scoring of the sensory integration clinical observations
7
Q
Types of sensory integration disorders
what is dyspraxia and what can it be classified as
A
- developmental coordination disorder
can be classified as:
- postural deficits
- deficits in tactile discrimination
- deficits in bilateral integration and sequencing
8
Q
Types of sensory integration disorders
sensory modulation disorders
A
- ability to regulate and grade responses to the sensory environment so that responses to sensory input are appropriate to the demands of daily life
- inappropriate reaction to non-noxious stimuli
- gravitational insecurity: fear of movements away from gravity
9
Q
Your interventions for sensory integration
aspects of the interventions
A
- play
- fun and engaging environments
- fun sensory motor activities
- regulated/focused
- postural control
- strength
- proprioception
- body image
