Question | Answer |
---|---|
Sensory processing is? | The method the nervous system uses to receive, organize, and understand sensory input from the environment |
What are the 2 spectrums in Dunn's Sensory Processing Framework? | -Neurological Threshold -Behavioral Response |
A child who misses sensory cues like loud music or a bright light falls into what category with Dunn? | Bystander |
A child who reacts more quickly and intensely to stimulation falls into what category with Dunn? | Sensor |
A child who retreats from unfamiliar situations falls into what category with Dunn? | Avoiders |
A child who is busier and more engages in sensory experiences falls into what category with Dunn? | Seeker |
What assessments can we use to assess sensory processing? | -Sensory Profile 2 -Sensory Processing Measure |
What is sensory processing disorder? | Difficulty taking in and interpreting sensory information so that an appropriate response can be made for functioning |
Is SPD acknowledged by mainstream society? | In mainstream yes, in the medical world not totally |
What are the 3 distinct disorders under SPD? | -Sensory modulation -Sensory based motor disorder -Sensory discrimination disorder |
What are the 3 types of regulating patterns under sensory modulation disorder? | -Over responsive -Under responsive -Craving/seeking |
What is sensory modulation disorder? | Unable to regulate the nervous system to meet the demands of the environment |
What is the most commonly seen SPD? | Sensory modulation disorder |
What is sensory motor disorder? | Motor challenge with an underlying sensory basis |
What are the 2 disorders that typically fall into a sensory motor disorder? | -Postural Disorder -Dyspraxia |
What is postural disorder? | Poor postural control, difficulty perceiving the body position, poorly developed movement patters that depend on core stability |
What is dyspraxia? | Motor planning problems, difficulty in thinking, planning, and executing skilled movements especially with novel movement patterns |
A child who displays clumsiness, difficulty standing upright, poor FMC, and uncomfortable changing position, most likely has which sensory based motor disorder? | Postural disorder |
A child who seems uncoordinated, has difficulty putting together legos, avoids sports, and has difficulty playing catch most likely has which sensory motor disorder? | Dyspraxia |
What is sensory discrimination disorder? | Difficulty filtering and interpreting sensory info, comparing details and disregarding irrelevant information |
A child who displays difficulty reading, inability to tell if their name has been called, or cannot distinguish between scents might have which disorder? | Sensory discrimination |
What are the 8 senses? | -Tactile -Visual -Auditory -Gustatory -Olfactory -Vestibular -Proprioception -Interoception |
What are the 5 environmental senses? | -Touch -Sight -Sound -Smell -Taste |
What are the body centered senses? | -Vestibular -Interoceptive -Proprioceptive |
What is the function of protective touch? | To alert to threatening texture |
What is the function of discriminative touch? | To give info about the environment when the body makes contact with it |
What is the largest sensory system in the body? | Touch |
Having tactile dysfunction can result in what for a child? | -Learning disabilities -Impaired social skills -Poor imagination -Inflexible and rigid -Eating challenges -Clothing and grooming problems -Tantrums and physical aggression |
A child with a difficulty in the visual system may display what? | -Head tilt -Squinting -Red/watery eyes -Fixation -Decreased attention |
What is visual processing? | Ability to identify and interpret visual stimuli |
What is auditory processing? | Ability to receive, discriminate, and filter sound in order to understand it |
The auditory system helps integrate what other sense in the body? | Vestibular |
How does the auditory system affect our safety? | Alerts to loud and unusual noises |
A child who has difficulty with memory, sequencing, following direction, paying attention, anxiety in loud environment, poor social skills, and speech/language disorders has difficulty with which sensory system? | Auditory |
What system helps to establish and revive memories? | Olfactory |
What system works closely with taste? | Olfactory |
What sensory system has receptors in our mouths to allow us recognition on temp, texture, and taste | Gustatory |
Oral dysfunction can cause what in a child? | -Gagging -Refusal to eat -Crying during meal times -Vomiting -Delayed milestones -Unusual preferences -Food falling from mouth |
What is proprioception? | Sense that provide information to the body on how the joints work and what they are doing |
Proprioception helps with what? | -Motor planning -Body position in space -How we interact with the environment -Force used during movement |
Where are the receptors for the proprioceptive system? | Muscles and joints |
Difficulty with proprioception can cause what in a child? | -Limited play skills -Difficulty motor planning -Poor self esteem -Risk taking behaviors -Seeking deep pressure input |
What is the vestibular sense? | Affects how we respond to gravity, movement and balance |
Where are the receptors for the vestibular sense? | Inner ears |
What system does the vestibular rely upon for input? | Ears and eyes |
If a child has poor vestibular input how does it present? | -Excessive movement -Restlessness and distractibility -Risk taking -Poor posture -Excessive swinging and jumping |
What is interception? | The perception of sensation from inside the body and includes the perception of physical sensations in relation to internal organs (HR, RR, hunger, and ANS) |
Rotary movement, bouncing, loud noise, fast tempo and cold temp are all what type of sensory activities? | Alerting |
Inversion, linear, soft voices, quiet noise, and deep pressure are all what type of sensory activities? | Calming |
