What’s some Importance of Developing ADL Occupations?
-Active participation in ADLs is important Endurance/ROM/coordination -Memory -Sequencing -Concept formation -Body image -Cleanliness -Problem solving -Accomplishment and pride -Helps caregivers
What factors affect performance?
Child factors and Performance Skills:
-Body structures and functions Sensory processing Strength Coordination Cognitive – organization, sequencing, memory Pain
- Interests

*Particularly useful for children with moderate to severe disabilities
They do not need to generalize the task from one environment to the other
What’s Naturalistic or ecological observation
- Complete task analysis to identify necessary steps, sequence and how child adapts to demands of environment
- Time consuming but provides good information
- Identify the level of assistance needed as well as the number of modifications needed

Sleep and Rest
Children with sleep disorders
Children with ASD – 50-80% have sleep disorders Other disorders with sleep issues ADHD Asthma Allergies Diabetes CP Epilepsy Sickle cell Obesity TBI
*Shortened sleep cycles cause shortened memory, muscle repair and hormone release Can cause illness Can cause decreased skill development Can cause depression Can affect parenting*

- Matching demands to abilities
Topic: Intervention and Strategies for Challenging Behaviors
How to Minimize Aversions
Look at task through child’s eyes
Once aversive tasks are identified
- Minimize frequency
- Decrease intensity
- Decrease duration
Topic: Intervention and Strategies for Challenging Behaviors
How to Control Sharing
Allow for choice making:
- Helps child feel important
- Fosters sense of commitment
