Ayres is the main theorist for this FOR. It focuses on skilled movement, hand-writing and learning disabilities.

Sensory integration FOR 

Focus: sensory development as well

Theorists: Ayres, Rood, King, Ross, Dunn, Wilbarger, Champagne 

100

ACL measures function and dysfunction this way

6 levels of wellness with 52 modes

100

This FOR suggests motivation is based on drive and the pleasure principle

Psychodynamic/psychoanalytic

100

The FOR that uses a cognitive performance test as an evaluation method

ACL 

Also: LCL, ACL, ADM, RTI, and ACLS (Allen Cognitive Level Screen)

100

This FOR uses interventions such as positioning & handling, reflex inhibition, PAMS, task-oriented interventions and guided learning

Motor control and learning FOR

200

The focus of Allen's Cognitive Levels (ACL) FOR

Cognition, mental illness, dementias, CNS damage

200

This FOR believes function/dysfunction are based on levels of personality development and object relations.

Psychodynamic FOR

200

This FOR suggests there is an inner drive toward maturity and that clients may avoid activities that are overstimulating.

Sensory integration

Motivation/Change: regulation of sensory input, graded activities, gross and fine motor activities 

200

The FOR that uses projective tests and observed interactions 

Psychodynamic/psychoanalytic

200

This FORs' interventions include ADL interventions, crafts groups, caregiver education and adapting the environment 

ACL

300

This FOR focuses on mental illness and the emotional response to illness. The main theorist for this FOR. 

2 answers

Psychodynamic/psychoanalytic FOR

Freud

300
Function/dysfunction in this FOR is based on the degree of voluntary movement and the ability to perform ADLs

Motor control and learning FOR

300

How to assess levels of assistance needed. (4 steps)

Observe, cue, probe, rescue

ACL FOR

300

The evaluation used for the sensory integration FOR

Sensory profiles

SIPT, SBC, SARAB

300

The two interventions the psychodynamic FOR  uses.

Creative arts and working through unconscious conflicts 

400

This FOR was beginning during the anatomy and physiology years of OT and focuses on physical and neurological disabilities 

Biomechanical/rehabilitation FOR 

Theorist: Trombly

400

The areas of "function/dysfunction" looked at in sensory integration

Age appropriate sensory integration, attention, learning and daily functioning

400

The aspects of motivation/change in the ACL FOR

Changes in brain, adapt task demand, cues, assistance, adapt environment

400

The evaluations that motor control and learning and biomechanical FOR have in common

MMT and ROM

400

The biomechanical/rehabilitation FOR uses this approach to intervention that focuses on impairments that inhibit functional performance.

Remedial approach.

Remediation: resolving underlying deficit that is able to be assessed

Compensatory techniques used often when remediation approach can't be used

Also intervention: exercise within context of client-chosen tasks requiring motor skills and endurance AND ADL training 

500

The theorists for the motor control and learning FOR.

This FOR came about when this approach was on the rise in OT.

Trombly, Rood, Brunnstrom, NDT?

Task-oriented approach

500

The areas of function/dysfunction in the biomechanical/rehabilitative FOR

Limitations in strength, endurance, ROM, functional movement
500

The motor control and learning FOR and the biomechanical/rehabilitation FOR focus on this shared aspect to bring about motivation/change.

The (motor control/biomechanical) FOR focuses on client task choices and priorities with spontaneous relearning

The (motor control/biomechanical) FOR focuses on reinforcement and successful task completion

REPETITION

Motor control and learning

Biomechanical 

500

The two different evaluations used in motor control and learning.

The two different evaluations in biomechanical.

Motor control and learning: reflex testing and task performance

Biomechanical: Increased independence in ADLs and work

500

The interventions for the sensory integration FOR.

Movement and cognition

Five stage groups

Use of games, equipment & technology to give sensory input 

Focuses on the just right challenge: "activities are their own reward"
