Q

how may a learning disability manifest itself in terms of audition (4)

Study These Flashcards
A

(from auditory perception or memory problem)
- unable to remember oral directions just given to them

  • Unable to sound words or blend sounds into words
  • Unable to block out background noise
  • Unable to remember sequence of nois
24
Q

When do children start to show hand preference?

25
how may a learning disability manifest itself in terms of integrative & perceptual skills
- difficulty w laterality & directionality that require visual perception (ie ability to cross midline needed for writing
26
how may a learning disability manifest itself in terms of psychosocial issues?
Delayed social competencies that can lead to poor self esteem, and poor self efficacy
27
What occurs if primitive & postural reflex persist?
challenge in learning and motor coordination in school
28
What occurs if the ATNR is not well integrated?
challenges in | balance, hand-eye coordination, L-R integration, laterality, bringing limbs to midline
29
What occurs if STNR is not well integrated?
challenges in Posture (sitting or standing), ability to sit still, muscle tone & coordination (swimming, rolls), linked to ADHD
30
how can you test if STNR is integrated
(test: px at 4 points and extend head => they will collapse) => not integrated
31
what occurs if TLR is not well integrated?
Interferes w head righting, vestibular skills, proprioception, upright head/body righting, visual control
32
What is visual input? what systems are part of visual input (5)
Environmental stimuli by visual receptors Systems: ocular, sensory, motor tracking, pursuit
33
what is visual processing
Cognitive analysis = visual attention, visual memory, visual discrimination (alertness, selective attention, viligence) => leads to visual ouput
34
what is visual output
observable skills | = recognition, matching, categorization, relationships
35
describe the 4 parts of visual output and how you would test each one
1. Recognition: attend to key feature of object & compare to memory test: naming tasks (real objects or picture) 2. Matching: identify stimuli that are exactly alike test: find design that matches target design 3. Categorization: grouping stimuli based on common characteristic Test: find the one that is different 4. Relationships: size, sequence, placement, relationships b/w parts
36
what is visual discrimination? give an example?
Visual perceptual skill = ability to determine/discriminate similarities and differences b/w one tube object from another (ex: reading: to be able to distinguish words and letter)
37
what are the deficits and OPI (5) of a child who has difficulty with visual discrimination?
deficit = child may not be able to recognize symbol or slow to learn abc, number OPI: matching socks, word recognition, hand writing & letter formation, pictogram
38
what is visual memory
Ability to recognize previously viewed form from a number of similar forms
39
what opis may arise from visual memory impairment (5)
1. difficulty w reading/writing 2. difficulty recognizing places/routes/people/object 3. difference b/w sizes small and capital letters, 4. unable to write abc from memory, 5. legibility may be poor
40
what is visual sequential memory
ability to recall visual sequence => identify previously viewed sequence of forms
41
what opis may arise from impaired visual sequential memory (3)
OPI: reading, writing, multiple step equations
42
what is visual figure (ground discrimination)
Ability to distinguish form hidden on distracting background
42
what is visual figure (ground discrimination)
Ability to distinguish form hidden on distracting background
43
what opis may arise with impairment of visual figure (ground discrimination) (4)
1. find sleeve/neck openings in uncoloured shirt, 2. write over edge of paper, 3. locate objects on cluttered surface/in drawer, 4. rows/columns of math problems may be disorganized
44
what is visual spatial skills
ability to understand, reason, remember spatial relations among objects/space (perceive where objects are in space or in relations to other objects)
45
what opis may arise with visual spatial deficit (5)
OPI: 1. map reading, 2. interpretation of instructional graphics (Charts, diagrams),, 3. handwriting of lets and numbers reversal 4. difficulty with l to r writing, inconsistent letter size 5. placement of letter on line (adapt size to space)
46
what is form constancy?
ability to recognize stimulus when size, color, position are changed or when the stimulus is hidden inside another display
47
what opis may arise from form constancy deficit (2)
OPI (similar to visual spatial): 1. recognize crumped sweater is same as hanging sweater, 2. confusion of p/q/g/ and a/o and b/d
48
what is visual closure
ability to recognize incomplete form that matches a complete one (ability to abstract meaning from more than one element at a time)
49
what opis from visual closure deficit (3)
1. cant recognize common object if part is hidden, 2. difficulty recognizing completed picture (attention focused only one 1 part) 3. disorientation w excess visual information and new environment
50
what is visual motor integration? what causes it?
Ability to correctly perceive a form in order to correctly replicate it (may be caused by visual cognitive deficits, visual discrimination, poor FM to integrate visual cognitive and motor processes)
51
What occurs with proprioceptive deficiti
appear clumsy/distracted Lack of sense of body Rely on visual cues or other cognitive strategies to perform task Use too much or too little pressure breaks toys, bump into other, misjudging personal space, disruptive behavior
52
what is sensory discrimination deficit
Difficulty differentiating 1 stimulus from another or perceive spatial/temporal relationship among stimulus
53
what opis may occur d/t sensory discrimination deficit
may confuse b/d tactile discrimination: unable to differentiate square from hexagon difficulty managing fastening
54
what skills are needed for handwriting
``` neuromuscular function Sensorimotor integration Motor control Visual motor integration Perceptual cognitive skills Psychosocial behavior posture/UE stability (can do ball activity wheel barrow) grasp ```
55
what activities can be done to work on handwriting
ball activity or wheelbarrow for UE stability Vertical writing (radial digital grasp with wrist in extension and anti gravity), hand putty, lazy 8 activity (cross midline) for grasp
