Sensory Intervention Flashcards
What is an adaptive response
a successful and purposeful goal directed action on the environment
Sensory Integration-
Neurological process where the brain organizes sensory information for a purposeful and goal directed use. (Bundy & Lane, 2020)
Sensory Processing-
“Describes the interface between a person’s neurological function and the environment.”(Dean et al., 2018)
Self-Regulation-
“One’s ability to manage emotions and behavior in a way that is appropriate for the activity or circumstances, including regulation of responses to sensory input from their body and the environment”
What are the two approaches to sensory integration
Ayres sensory integration and sensory based interventions
Ayres Sensory Integration-
“…systematic approach and a set of fidelity principles” to address individual sensory processing and motor planning.
Sensory Based Interventions-
“Interventions that are based on principles of sensory integration theory to address self-regulation, sensory modulation, sensory registration, sensory discrimination, and praxis…”
Praxis-
The ability to conceptualize, plan and execute a non-habitual motor act.
Ideation-
generating ideas of what to do in a novel situation or with new objects or toys
Treatment approach - OT-SI and Ayres SI
Ayres- Fidelity Process Elements (next slide & pg. 534)
ASI- occurs in a clinic setting. Aims to change internal neurophysiological processing
OT-SI- occur in child’s natural environment. Aims to produce short term effect on self-regulation, attention or behavior
Terminology is critical when interpreting evidence in regards to sensory integration
Where is the appropriate setting for Ayeres sensory integration?
ASI- occurs in a clinic setting. Aims to change internal neurophysiological processing
Process elements that need to be present in Ayres SI fidelity
Ensures physical safety
Presents sensory
Supports sensory modulation for attaining and maintaining a regulated state
Challenges postural, ocular, oral and/or bilateral motor control
Challenges praxis and organization of behavior
Collaborates in
Tailors activity to present just right challenge
Ensures that activities are successful
Supports child’s
Establishes a therapeutic alliance with the child
Define a just right challenge
It’s is the OTs responsability to ________________
constantly adjust what we are doing based on how the child is doing
How do we Balance the therapeutic value and the child’s interest
Use their interests but not only fun. we have to do work too
How do we Create an environment that encourages increasingly complex adaptive responses.
Inner drive and active participation from the child are emphasized.
This is a necessary part of
sensory integraiton
Slide 10 has a good graphic, make a card out of that
Impact on behavior of sensory issues
Ritualistic behaviors
Impulsive
Active/Inattentive
Disorganized
Impatient/ demanding
Low frustration tolerance
Lack of self control
Sensory Seekers
Easily excited
Risk taker/ impulsive
Need for constant stimulation
Crave attention
Under-responsive
Inattentive
Passive
Disinterested/ Daydreamer
Disheveled appearance
Over-responsive
Fight-fright-freeze
Low threshold
Sensory defensiveness
Behavioral indicators
Vestibular-Bilateral Problems
postural disorder
- Appears lethargic
- Slumped posture
- Difficulty with bilateral skills and crossing midline
- May exhibit overflow or associated movements
Dyspraxia
Poor ideation
Inflexible
Emotional dysregulation
Possible language issues
