OT IN PEDIA
OT FOR CHILDREN WITH ASD & ADHD
| Term | Definition 1 | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER | - A developmental disability characterized by differences in social communication development and a pattern of restricted interests and repetitive behavior. | |
| What were the changes made from DSM IV-TR to DSM V? | Symptoms must be present in early developmental period | |
| DSM IV-TR (4) | - Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDDNOS) | |
| 3 core areas for diagnosis DSM IV-TR (4) | ■ Social impairment ■ Communication impairment ■ Restricted, repetitive behaviors | ○ Distinction between the subtypes was unreliable and inconsistent across diagnosis ○ Symptoms must be present before age 3 |
| DSM V | - subtypes are merged into a single diagnosis (Autism Spectrum Disorder) | |
| DSM V (5) | - Social communication and social interaction - Changes to the diagnostic criteria = social communication single category | |
| SOCIAL COMMUNICATION & SOCIAL INTERACTION PROBLEMS | - SOCIO-EMOTIONAL RECIPROCITY - NONVERBAL COMMUNICATIVE BEHAVIORS - DEVELOPING, MAINTAING, AND UNDERSTANDING RELATIONSHIPS | |
| SOCIO-EMOTIONAL RECIPROCITY | ● Understanding social cues ● Joint attention (focusing on one thing) ● Does not initiate conversations ● Failure of back-and-forth communication ● Response to name calling or when spoken to | |
| NONVERBAL COMMUNICATIVE BEHAVIORS | ● No meaningful eye contact ● Deficit in use and understanding ● Facial expressions ● Functional gestures ● Volume (pitch and intonation of speech) | |
| DEVELOPING, MAINTAING, AND UNDERSTANDING RELATIONSHIPS | ● Cannot understand the disinterest ● Some children stay in parallel play level | |
| STEREOTYPED OR REPETITIVE BEHAVIORS (B1) | ● Non-functional play (not meaningful) ● Lining up of objects ● Echolalia ● Hand clapping/ flicking of fingers ● Tiptoeing | |
| INSISTENCE OR SAMENESS & INFLEXIBLE ADHERENCE TO ROUTINES/RITUALIZED PATTERNS OF VERBAL/NONVERBAL BEHAVIOR (B2) | ● Frustration tolerance ● Difficulty in transitions between activities ● Difficulty understanding attempts of humor | |
| HIGHLY RESITRCTED, FIXATED INTEREST THAT ARE ABNORMAL IN INTENSITY OR FOCUS (B3) | ● Fixations ● Narrow range of interests | |
| HYPER-/HYPO-REACTIVITY TO SENSORY INPUT/UNSUAL INTEREST IN SENSORY ASPECT OF ENVIRONMENT (B4) | ● Sensory integration symptoms (proprioception, vestibular, tactile, visual, auditory, etc.) | |
| ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER | ● Most common neurobehavioral disorder of unknown cause that often occurs in childhood but persists through adolescence and adulthood. | |
| POSSIBLE ADHD PRESENTATIONS | - Inattentive - Hyperactive-Impulsive - Combined | |
| Inattentive | ○ Seen in schoolwork/ household ○ Difficulty following instructions ○ Any activity with EF , Higher mental functions ○ Easily distracted, does not listen, daydreaming | |
| Hyperactive-Impulsive | ○ Runs around / often on the go acting as if driven by motor ○ Difficulty in sitting still ○ Verbal hyperactivities (interrupting others, turn-taking in conversations, excessive talking) | |
| Combined | ○ Shows both Inattentive and hyperactive symptoms | |
| POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENTAL IMPACTS OF ADHD Level: Preschool | DEVELOPMENTAL IMPACT: ● Behavioral Disturbance ● Unintentional injuries ● Feelings of parental Incompetence | |
| POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENTAL IMPACTS OF ADHD Level: School Age | DEVELOPMENTAL IMPACT: ● Behavioral disturbance, including aggressive tendencies ● Academic impairment ● Difficulties in social interaction often tolerated by peers | |
| POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENTAL IMPACTS OF ADHD Level: Adolescence | DEVELOPMENTAL IMPACT: ● Not fulfilling academic potential ● Reduced tolerance by peers ● Low self-esteem ● Smoking/alcohol/drug experimentation ● Antisocial behavior | |
| POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENTAL IMPACTS OF ADHD Level: College Age | DEVELOPMENTAL IMPACT: ● Academic failure ● Not coping with routine tasks ● Occupational difficulties ● Low self-esteem ● Alcohol and substance misuse ● Injuries/unintentional incidents | |
| POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENTAL IMPACTS OF ADHD Level: Adulthood | DEVELOPMENTAL IMPACT: ● Mood instability ● Low self-esteem ● Relationship problems ● Increased road and occupational incidents ● Difficulty planning and completing tasks ● Alcohol and substance misuse ● Inconsistent parenting style | |
| SENSORY PROCESSING | ● Seen in both children with ASD and ADHD ● Behaviors seen in ASD and ADHD may be attributed to Sensory Processing Disorder | |
| 3 types of sensory processing problems | - Sensory Modulation - Sensory Discrimination - Sensory-Based Motor Problems | |
| Sensory Modulation | ■ Generating appropriate responses in the gradation of the sensory integration we receive ■ Underresponsive/ Overrespponsive | |
| Sensory Discrimination | ■ Distinguishing different sensory stimuli ■ Can be discriminated based on the quality, touch, taste, sight, sound, proprioception | |
| Sensory-Based Motor Problems | ■ Praxis problems, vestibular problems | |
| QUADRANTS OF THE SENSORY PROFILE | - REGISTRATION - SEEKING - SENSITIVITY - AVOIDING | |
| REGISTRATION | - Need additional input to respond to stimuli but take a passive approach. - "I don't seem to notice when my face or hands are dirty” | |
| SEEKING | - Need additional input to respond to stimuli and actively seek stimuli. - "I like to attend events with a lot of music." | |
| SENSITIVITY | - Respond readily to low threshold stimuli but does not actively avoid stimuli. - "I startle easily at unexpected or loud noises." | |
| AVOIDING | - Respond readily to lower Threshold stimuli But actively avoid Stimuli. - "I only eat familiar foods." | |
| SENSORY PROCESSING | ● (Common manifestations) see transes* | |
