Ayres Sensory Integration
This term describes difficulties in planning and executing motor movements, often leading to clumsiness and difficulty with new tasks.
(Week 5 say 2, slide 8)
What is dyspraxia?
This term refers to the amount of stimuli required for a neuron or neuron system to respond.
(Week 5 day 2, slide 12)
What is neurologic threshold?
the processing, integration, and organization of sensory information from the body and the environment.
(Week 5 day 2, slide 13)
What is sensory integration?
This fundamental aspect of OT using ASI ensures the client is not at risk of harm during intervention.
(Week 5 Day 2, Slide 16)
What is ensuring physical safety?
This intervention approach includes strategies such as a sensory diet, listening programs, and brushing techniques.
(Week 5 day 2, slide 18)
What are specific sensory techniques?
This sensory integration dysfunction affects the ability to coordinate both sides of the body and perform tasks that require sequencing of movement.
(Week 5 say 2, slide 8)
What is vestibular bilateral integration & sequencing (VBIS)?
According to Dunn’s Sensory Processing Model, this refers to the way individuals manage their own sensory needs and responses.
(Week 5 day 2, slide 12)
What is self-regulation?
This model of sensory processing, aligned with OTPF-4, focuses on activity demands, context, and environment.
(Week 5 day 2, slide 13)
What is Dunn’s Sensory Processing Model?
OT practitioners present a variety of these to engage the child in meaningful sensory experiences.
(Week 5 Day 2, Slide 16)
What are sensory opportunities?
The Alert Program, How Does Your Engine Run, Zones of Regulation, and Social Stories are all examples of this intervention type.
(Week 5 day 2, slide 18)
What are cognitive-based interventions?
A more severe form of dyspraxia, this condition involves significant difficulty with motor planning and tactile perception.
(Week 5 say 2, slide 8)
What is somatodyspraxia?
Dunn’s model describes sensory processing as the interaction between these two key components.
(Week 5 day 2, slide 12)
What are neurological thresholds and self-regulatory behavioral responses?
The sensory processing approach helps determine how aspects of these factors support or interfere with participation in everyday occupations.
(Week 5 day 2, slide 13)
What are activity demands, contexts, and environments?
This fidelity element helps regulate a child’s response to sensory input, preventing over- or under-responsiveness.
(Week 5 Day 2, Slide 16)
What is supporting sensory modulation?
Activities like yoga and horseback riding are considered this type of intervention.
(Week 5 day 2, slide 18)
What are occupation-based interventions?
This type of sensory modulation dysfunction occurs when an individual reacts excessively to sensory input, often experiencing discomfort or distress.
(Week 5 day 2, slide 8)
What is sensory over-responsivity?
A person with a low neurological threshold is more likely to have this type of response to sensory stimuli.
(Week 5 day 2, slide 12)
What is hypersensitivity (or sensory over-responsivity)?
sensory integration focuses on changing these two elements.
(Week 5 day 2, slide 13)
What are performance skills and client factors?
This element acknowledges the child's internal drive to engage in sensory play and learning.
(Week 5 Day 2, Slide 16)
What is supporting the child’s intrinsic motivation to play?
Occupational therapists help improve sensory processing by educating and coaching these key figures in a child's life.
(Week 5 day 2, slide 18)
Who are caregivers and teachers?
This sensory modulation dysfunction is characterized by a reduced or delayed response to sensory stimuli, often leading to seeking intense sensory experiences.
(Week 5 day 2, slide 8)
What is sensory under-responsivity?
A person with a high neurological threshold is more likely to display this type of behavior in response to sensory input.
(Week 5 day 2, slide 12)
What is sensory seeking or under-responsivity?
Sensory integration assessment and intervention focuses on.
(Week 5 day 2, slide 13)
What are body functions, specifically perceptual and motor skills, and cognitive and emotional regulation?
This refers to a child's ability to plan and execute novel motor actions, which is supported through sensory integration.
(Week 5 Day 2, Slide 16)
What is praxis and organization of behavior?
Changes to the physical environment, such as adjusting lighting or noise levels, fall under this type of sensory intervention.
(Week 5 day 2, slide 18)
What are sensory environmental modifications?
