Goal of Occupational Therapy Services: Youth will acquire skills to maximize independence in daily tasks Focus on consultation and training for staff who work with youth on a daily basis The following are methods in which occupational therapy is utilized to enhance service delivery: Environmental adaptations Weekly groups and activities Assessment
4 SENSORY INPUT FOR SELF-REGULATION The integration and interpretations of sensory stimulation from the environment by the brain Taps into all sensory systems Power senses Tactile Vestibular Proprioceptive Environmental senses Auditory Visual Tactile Gustatory Olfactory
5 TACTILE Input received through the skin Anterolateral (AL) pathway Light touch, pain, temperature Dorsal Column Medial Lemniscus (DCML) system Deep Touch Alerting Cold Temperature Light Touch Pain Calming Hands-on tasks Warm Temperature Deep Touch
6 VESTIBULAR Input received through change in head position (fluid in inner ear) Considers the effect of gravity on the body Typically alerting, but can be calming, based on speed, regularity, directionality Alerting Irregular, Fast, Up and Down, Side to Side, Rotary Calming Regular, Slow Front to Back
7 PROPRIOCEPTION, HEAVY WORK Contraction and relaxation of muscles and joints through active engagement Regulates the body Provides information about where body is in space Examples Exercise Chewing Chores Obstacle Course
8 ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS Alerting Sound loud, high-pitched, erratic, unexpected Sight bright colors, clutter, bright lighting, fast moving objects Smell unexpected, unpleasant, citrus, mint Taste unique, sour, bitter, spicy Calming Sound quiet, rhythmic, lowpitched, familiar Sight pastel/pale colors, neat and tidy, low lighting, slow moving objects Smell familiar, pleasant, floral, vanilla Taste familiar, sweet, salty
9 RESPONSE TO SENSORY STIMULATION Reprint Permission: May-Benson, 2007 Modified from Koomar, Szklut, Raredon, Trecker and OTA staff, 1996
10 SENSORY MODULATION The ability to assess and identify relevance of sensory information to maintain homeostasis EXAMPLE I am in the classroom and the teacher is speaking and writing notes on the board. I am sitting in a chair and the fluorescent lights are humming and wind is blowing through the window. Overresponsive reaction I am too distracted by the fluorescent lights and humming and light touch that is stimulating my skin, to completely attend to my classwork. Expected reaction I am able to complete attend to my school work because my brain can successfully filter out sensory input that is not important.
11 SENSORY MODULATION Signs of Poor Modulation Could present as Defensive, Distractible, or Sensitive Is a picky eater Dislikes tags in clothes or wearing clothing made of certain materials Suffers from motion sickness Covers ears Hums or frequently makes noises Dislikes bright lights Has a poor frustration tolerance Presents with fight, flight, freeze response Is easily distracted
12 SENSORY DISCRIMINATION The ability to detect salient qualities of a specific sensory input EXAMPLE Movement How fast am I moving? What direction am I going? Touch What is touching me? What am I holding? Is it cold, is it smooth, is it heavy? Muscle Where am I? Can I fit in a certain space? Can I move in a room without bumping into something?
13 SENSORY DISCRIMINATION Signs of Poor Discrimination Could present as Sensory Seeking or Under Responsive Has poor fine motor skills Has poor body awareness/safety awareness Seeks movement opportunities jumping, moving in seat Touches everything Leans on people, furniture, walls Has poor motor planning or movement appears awkward or clumsy Has poor trunk stability or posture
14
15 SELF REGULATION Maintaining an optimal level of alertness/arousal to successfully participate in daily tasks Body must take in the appropriate amount of stimulation to feel calm, organized, and grounded Based on individual s threshold and tolerance Sensory Break regulating the sensory system once client displays initial signs of overstimulation by using strategies as a coping skill Sensory Diet incorporating regular sensory input into daily routine to prevent overstimulation
16 EVALUATION Sensory Processing Questionnaire simple tool to introduce sensory preferences Mostly A s Sensitive Mostly B s Seeker Mostly C s Defensive Mostly D s Under-responsive
17 EVALUATION Coping Skill Inventory
18 EVALUATION Collaborative Safety Assessment
