Disorders and General Intervention Consideration for PEDS #2
Disorders | Signs/Symptoms | Intervention | Definition/Example |
---|---|---|---|
Autism | Delays: motor processing, comm./interaction skills. Impaired body fxs, limited repertoire of behavior, stereotypical behaviors, decreased attention to purposeful acts/occ. Not reaching milestones. Infants showing decreased exploration/interest in environ | Behavior management programs | work with child at their level, redirect when child begins self-stimulation, use positive behavioral reinforcers, use behavioral management techs. |
Autism | Delays: motor processing, comm./interaction skills. Impaired body fxs, limited repertoire of behavior, stereotypical behaviors, decreased attention to purposeful acts/occ. Not reaching milestones. Infants showing decreased exploration/interest in environ | "Listen" to child | read child's verbal/ nonverbal cues, follow childs cues, provide child w/choices (may have to start with only 2), allow child time to respond. work on occ-centered goals so therapy is meaningful to child/family. Allow child to play w/others. |
Autism | Delays: motor processing, comm./interaction skills. Impaired body fxs, limited repertoire of behavior, stereotypical behaviors, decreased attention to purposeful acts/occ. Not reaching milestones. Infants showing decreased exploration/interest in environ | Communicate with child | Use signs, pics, communication boards, and/or singing. Listen to parents for child's preferences. Keep talking to a minimum-use simple directions. Listen to parents. |
Autism | Delays: motor processing, comm./interaction skills. Impaired body fxs, limited repertoire of behavior, stereotypical behaviors, decreased attention to purposeful acts/occ. Not reaching milestones. Infants showing decreased exploration/interest in environ | Be resilient | Realize practitioners/ children have "off days". Change plans if needed or think about what could have been done diff. |
Genetic/Chromosomal Disorders | Microencephaly, impaired cognitive development, unusual or excessive eating habits/patterns, small body structure, congenital anomalies, facial feature characteristics of syndrome, Simian crease in hands, FTT, developmental delays | Failure to Thrive (FTT) | May be due to motor, cognitive, structural functions. Should evaluate/treat through training, compensation, adaptive technology, or remediation. |
Genetic/Chromosomal Disorders | Microencephaly, impaired cognitive development, unusual or excessive eating habits/patterns, small body structure, congenital anomalies, facial feature characteristics of syndrome, Simian crease in hands, FTT, developmental delays | Developmental delays (motor, social, language, self-care skills) | Help children learn skills needed for their occupations thruogh intervention. |
Genetic/Chromosomal Disorders | Microencephaly, impaired cognitive development, unusual or excessive eating habits/patterns, small body structure, congenital anomalies, facial feature characteristics of syndrome, Simian crease in hands, FTT, developmental delays | Cognitive delays (may show difficulty in problem solving/abstract thought & reasoning) | Practicing occupations in a variety of contexts helps children generalize skills. |
Genetic/Chromosomal Disorders | Microencephaly, impaired cognitive development, unusual or excessive eating habits/patterns, small body structure, congenital anomalies, facial feature characteristics of syndrome, Simian crease in hands, FTT, developmental delays | congential anomalies (exhibit certain physical features: short stature, flat hand arches) | Help child by compensating or adapting to perform occupations |
Genetic/Chromosomal Disorders | Microencephaly, impaired cognitive development, unusual or excessive eating habits/patterns, small body structure, congenital anomalies, facial feature characteristics of syndrome, Simian crease in hands, FTT, developmental delays | psychosocial/emotional issues | Help child by coping with everyday situations, deal with periods of stress, adapt to life changes, work with their strengths. |
Genetic/Chromosomal Disorders | Microencephaly, impaired cognitive development, unusual or excessive eating habits/patterns, small body structure, congenital anomalies, facial feature characteristics of syndrome, Simian crease in hands, FTT, developmental delays | Social participation/ behaviors | Work w/child, family, community to help child engage in occupations. Can assist child in fitting into groups by helping them develop socially appropriate behaviors. |
Neoplastic Disorders | weight loss, night sweats, chronic fatigue, recurrent headaches, vomiting, behavioral changes, pain, lumps, misalignment of bones or joints, evident growths on bone | Energy conservation | Child may benefit from learning ways to perform occupations w/less physical stress. Ex: getting ready for school while seated conserves energy. |
Neoplastic Disorders | weight loss, night sweats, chronic fatigue, recurrent headaches, vomiting, behavioral changes, pain, lumps, misalignment of bones or joints, evident growths on bone | Compensation Techniques | Teaching strategies to perform everyday tasks. Ex: using L hand instead of R hand for eating. |
Neoplastic Disorders | weight loss, night sweats, chronic fatigue, recurrent headaches, vomiting, behavioral changes, pain, lumps, misalignment of bones or joints, evident growths on bone | Psychosocial/emotional issues | Child may require intervention to help them deal w/their illness so they may engage in occupations. |
Neoplastic Disorders | weight loss, night sweats, chronic fatigue, recurrent headaches, vomiting, behavioral changes, pain, lumps, misalignment of bones or joints, evident growths on bone | Adaptive Equipment | OT can reccomend AE to assist w/ child's occupations. Ex: using a bath seat to make positioning during bath time easier for caregiver. |
Neoplastic Disorders | weight loss, night sweats, chronic fatigue, recurrent headaches, vomiting, behavioral changes, pain, lumps, misalignment of bones or joints, evident growths on bone | Engagement in occupations | Can help child return to daily occupations through education, assistive tech, and compensation techs. |
Autism | Delays: motor processing, comm./interaction skills. Impaired body fxs, limited repertoire of behavior, stereotypical behaviors, decreased attention to purposeful acts/occ. Not reaching milestones. Infants showing decreased exploration/interest in environ | SI approach | tactile, vestibular, proprioceptive, olfactory, gustatory (may enjoyr very spicy or sour tastes instead of bland tastes.) |
Autism | Delays: motor processing, comm./interaction skills. Impaired body fxs, limited repertoire of behavior, stereotypical behaviors, decreased attention to purposeful acts/occ. Not reaching milestones. Infants showing decreased exploration/interest in environ | Structured environment | provide consistency and same routine, provide quiet setting. |
