t/f: Motor skills do not develop independently of sensory experiences and perception
true!!
___% of children with CP showed very poor performance in body representation processing
64%
sensory integration was 1st introduced by…
jean ayres (an OT)
define sensory integration
behavioral manifestation of
sensory processing which leads
to modulation and praxis (motor planning)
other definition:
the brain’s ability to organize a continuous feedback loop of sensory input for use in functional
behaviors
where do deficits lie in sensory integration
the perception, organization, and coordinated response to sensory information
Sensory Processing
a neurophysiologic term that reflects the reception, modulation, integration, and organization of sensory stimuli
t/f: sensory processing includes the observable adaptive environmental interaction
false
Sensory perceptions have connections with (2)
limbic system
autonomic nervous system
3 types of Sensory Modulation Disorder (SMD)
SOR = Sensory Over-Responsivity
SUR = Sensory Under-Responsivity
SS = Sensory Seeking / Craving
2 types of Sensory-Based Motor Disorder (SBMD)
dyspraxia
postural disorders
5 subtypes of sensory discrimination disorder (SDD)
- Visual
- Auditory
- Tactile
- Taste/Smell
- Position/Movement
does poor proprioception result in sensory seeking or sensory avoiding behaviors?
sensory seeking!!
- crashing
- roughness
- clumsiness
how does poor vestibular integration/dysfunction present clinically
- sedentary (activity avoidance)
- incoordination
- poor balance
- lack of visual scanning
- low muscle tone
- toe walking
how does poor tactile integration/dysfunction present clinically
- poor fine motor skills (like handwriting)
- avoid textures, clothes, surfaces, etc
- hypersensitive to unexpected touch
how does poor vision integration/dysfunction present clinically
sensitive to sunlight
avoids visual attention
hesitate at staris/playground/etc
how does poor auditory integration/dysfunction present clinically
difficulty focusing with background noise
unable to habituate
limbic system!!!
unexpected loud noises
how does poor taste + smell integration/dysfunction present clinically
Limbic system!!
avoid certain places or people
gagging
what is praxis
human skill that enables us to interact effectively with the physical world.
motor planning + execution
t/f: praxis does not = motor skill
false
Problems in praxis lie mainly in the…
neural activity before motor execution
postural disorder is characterized by
poor core strength and endurance
list in order (from bottom to top) the 4 naturalistic settings in a play-based approach
sensory –> motor –> social –> behavior
(SENSORY DRIVES MOTOR)
4 ways to manage behavior according to deficits
engagement
picture scheduled
structured session
avoid sensory overload
