Typical development School age Flashcards
What is LRE
Least restrictive environment, a term in IDEA that means a student should be placed with peers, fully included as much as possible
What is IDEA
A federal law that provides for special education services for students with disabilities
What is Section 504
A portion of a federal law that is an anti-discrimination law. In the schools, it allows for students to receive services they need to be able to attend school and not be discriminated against because of their disability. We use this law to provide services for children who are not eligible for special education, or who need services short term.
What is ESSA
A federal law that replaces No Child Left Behind. It is a law for regular or general education that provides for services to prevent academic failure
What is the order of development of writing grasps
Palmar supinate, digital pronate, static tripod, dynamic tripod
What age is palmar supinate grasp used
Early in infant-toddler age (1-2 ish)
What age does a child change to digital pronate
Usually about 2 ish years-
What age does a child use a static tripod
Usually 3-4 years
When does a dynamic tripod usually start
About 5 years of age
When is hand dominance established
It should be there by 6 for sure, but majority of children have it much much earlier
In order to be eligible for special education, often there needs to be assessment with what type of tool
Norm referenced
A criterion referenced tool is best for a child with ____
known significant developmental delays (who wouldn’t be able to complete a norm referenced observational assessment)
criterion referenced tools are good for _______
treatment planning and goal setting
When treating using Ayres SI, any type of defensiveness is treated with activities that provide
DTP and prop
Desensitization, where a child is slowly encouraged to “get used to” sensory experiences he or she dislikes is a form of ________________
behavioral FOR or behavioral tx
The SOS approach is _______________
A feeding intervention that uses sensory and behavioral FOR together to improve a child’s ability to eat
One sequence of visual-perceptual-motor skills develops _________________
matching (colors/shapes), naming (colors shapes), imitating drawing shapes, copying drawing shapes
When treatment planning for visual motor skills using Ayres SI approach, you start with _____ and progress to _______
child and object both still (sitting and reaching to place a sticker on a face on the wall), to child or object moving (child on scooterboard to a bucket to place a bean bag in-OR- child on swing reaching for puzzle pieces on the floor- OR-child standing still and something rolled or thrown to the child) , to both child AND object moving (like the horse activity in lab- child swinging and trying to bat at a moving object or catch something thrown)
the difference between VP and VPM is
VP is non motor, VP is matching same/different, discriminating shapes/sizes/directions, VP is recognizing letter forms, but VPM adds the motor component- so catching and throwing, tracing, design copy with blocks or drawings, copying letters or copying sentences from the board
What is the fidelity measure
It is a tool to rate whether or not a treatment session is being done using Ayres SI with fidelity. It is meant for research purposes, but it describes what Ayres SI “is”
what are clin obs
These are a set of specific clinical observations originally designed by Ayres, to help understand a child’s ability to process tactile, prop, and vestibular input primarily but also visual (visual screening)
the clin ob- prone extension is a measure of
vestibular functioning AND ability to maintain posture against gravity
the clin ob - sequential finger touching is a measure of
somatosensory processing (and even more so if you do it with vision occluded)
positive reinforcement is ____________
a behavioral strategy whereby a child is rewarded for doing something
