This document contains parent and young child reports for the PedsQL Epilepsy Module, which assesses epilepsy-related quality of life issues. The forms contain questions about potential problems in areas like physical, cognitive and executive functioning, sleep, mood and behavior. Parents and young children are asked to rate how much of a problem each item has been for the child in the past month.
Occupational therapy plays an important role in evaluating and managing learning disabilities. The evaluation process uses standardized tests and observations to identify strengths and weaknesses across sensory processing, cognition, executive functions, prewriting skills, and more. Intervention focuses on developing skills in these areas through sensory integration activities, strategies to improve attention and memory, visual perception training, organizing techniques, and prewriting skill development. Compensatory techniques include adapting tasks, environments, and using assistive devices. Therapists also address deficits in attention, motor skills, and sensory processing that may accompany learning disabilities.
This document discusses sensory integration techniques. It defines sensory integration as the process by which the brain organizes sensory input to produce useful responses. It describes the seven senses and the three main sensory systems - tactile, proprioceptive, and vestibular. For each system, it provides examples of how it works and suggestions for activities to improve sensory integration. Implementing these techniques may help children improve attention, processing, flexibility, balance, motor skills and handwriting.
Autism
1. Umbrella Category for Autism:
Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) is an umbrella term for disorders characterized by impairments in reciprocal social interaction skills and communication skills.
PDD includes:
● Autistic Disorder* and Asperger’s Syndrome (very similar disorders, and some consider them variations of the same disorder)
● Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD)
● Rett’s Disorder
● Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (PDDNOS)
*of all the disorders under PDD, Autism is the most severe.
Definition of Autism:
-Developmental disability
-Affecting verbal and non-verbal communication, social interaction and imaginative creativity.
-Evident before age three
-Referred to as a spectrum disorder ranging from mild to major in severity.
In laymen terms this means that Autism is a disorder that affects a child’s communication with the outside world. These children with autism seem locked inside of themselves, unable to communicate with loved ones through speech or gestures or even eye contact. The world is so overwhelming that sometimes they seek to solace in a repetitive action of some kind like rubbing their cheek, spinning around, shouting or any other number of repetitive actions. This is call “stimming” or “self-stimulation”.
Definition of Asperger’s Disorder:
-Affects how a child communicates with the outside world.
- Symptoms are less severe than general Autism. Many of the same characteristics of Autism, however are able to interact more easily as their language skills are less effected.
-Greater trouble rooted in social relations, because they cannot interpret social signals and cues that are non-literal.
-Have a higher cognitive development and more typical communication skills.
-Have an above average intelligence.
2. How Common; Causes; & Characteristics
How Common:
-Autism is a low incidence disability: 1 in 2000 children
-When including the full spectrum, PDD is estimated to occur 1 in 300-500 individuals
-Four times more prevalent in in boys than girls.
-Knows no racial, ethical, or social boundaries.
Causes:
No single significant cause of autism has been found. Some research has hinted to the involvement of:
-Organic Factors such as:
a) Brain damage
b) Genetic links
c) Complications during pregnancy
-A Biological Basis
-Some evidence that genetics may play a role.
Note: Children born with rubella and those classified as having fragile X syndrome are more likely to develop autism

This presentation provides an overview of sensory processing difficulties and regulation by occupational therapist Cynthia Miller-Lautman. It discusses how sensory processing issues can affect learning, behavior, and daily living. The presentation offers suggestions for parents and schools, such as providing movement breaks, outdoor time, and fidget tools. It also outlines what an occupational therapy evaluation involves and common sensory-based techniques used in therapy.
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a condition where individuals have difficulty processing sensory information like touch, sound, and movement. It affects around 1 in 20 children. People with SPD may feel overwhelmed by sensory input or seek intense sensations. They have trouble with motor skills, social skills, and school performance. Occupational therapy helps teach skills to manage sensory input but the causes and best treatments are still being researched. SPD is being considered for inclusion in the DSM-V diagnostic manual.
Presentation expands on the specific problems persons with SPD have. Also gives a checklist of characteristic behaviors and issues in persons w/Sensory Processing.

Diagnosis &management of autistic spectrum disordersAbhishek Joshi
Autism spectrum disorders are characterized by difficulties with social interaction and communication. The cause is unknown but believed to involve both genetic and environmental factors. Diagnosis involves developmental screening followed by a comprehensive evaluation. Treatments aim to improve social and communication skills and include applied behavioral analysis, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and others. Prognosis depends on the individual, with early intervention improving outcomes for many.
This document discusses neurogenic bladder, including:
1. It outlines the physiology of normal bladder function and control, as well as locations of the cortical, pontine, and sacral micturition centers.
2. Symptoms of neurogenic bladder depend on the level of dysfunction and can include detrusor overactivity, detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia, poor bladder emptying, and incontinence.
3. Investigations include post-void residual measurement, uroflowmetry, cystometry, and sphincter EMG; treatment depends on the type of bladder dysfunction and may include medications, botulinum toxin injections, surgery, or devices

The document describes three mobility and balance tests:
1) The Timed Up and Go test measures the time it takes a person to stand up from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn around, walk back to the chair and sit down. It assesses mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance.
2) The Tandem Walk test examines a person's ability to walk heel-to-toe in a straight line, exacerbating gait issues. Abnormal results include leg spreading, staggering, or falling to the side.
3) The Forward Stepping Test assesses dynamic stability through having a person step as quickly as possible in a clockwise and counterclockwise pattern over four canes arranged in
This document discusses sensory processing disorder and how it can lead to challenging behaviors in children. It defines sensory processing disorder as difficulty processing and responding to sensory information from the senses. Children with autism or developmental disabilities often have sensory issues. The causes are not fully known but may involve irregular brain function. The document describes how children can be either sensory seekers who crave stimulation or sensory avoiders who are overstimulated easily. It provides interventions for each type and tips for managing tantrums which may result from sensory overload.

Sensory processing disorder (SPD) occurs when the brain has difficulty receiving and responding to sensory information from the environment. Children with SPD may struggle with tasks due to hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity to touch, movement, sights, sounds, and smells. This can impact social skills, motor skills, attention, and behavior. While estimates vary, around 1 in 20 children experience SPD symptoms significant enough to interfere with daily life. Educators need to understand SPD to better recognize signs in students and help implement strategies to support their learning. Occupational therapy can also help children process sensory information more effectively.
1. Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent movement disorders caused by non-progressive damage to the developing brain. It was first described by William Little in the 1860s. (2) CP can be caused by complications during pregnancy, childbirth, or early childhood. (3) It is characterized by impaired muscle coordination and abnormal muscle tone.
2. There is no cure for CP, but treatment aims to improve symptoms through physical, occupational, and speech therapy, braces or other assistive devices, medications, and sometimes surgery. Nursing care involves promoting optimal development, managing symptoms, educating families, and preventing complications.
Sensory processing disorder is a condition where the brain has difficulty processing sensory information from the environment. People with sensory processing disorder may be over-sensitive or under-sensitive to stimuli like sounds, textures, or movement. They may struggle with motor coordination, spatial awareness, focus, and adapting to changes. While the causes are unknown, it may relate to genetics, birth complications, or environmental factors. Occupational therapy aims to help individuals learn to tolerate and respond appropriately to sensory experiences through playful challenges.
This document provides background information on Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and discusses its causes and effects.
1. ODD is a disorder characterized by hostile, disobedient, and defiant behavior towards authority figures. It often develops due to a combination of a child's difficult temperament and dysfunctional family interactions.
2. Symptoms of ODD include arguing, actively defying rules, and being easily annoyed by others. It is often accompanied by other disorders like ADHD and conduct disorder.
3. Poor parenting practices like overprotectiveness can contribute to ODD by limiting a child's independence and problem-solving abilities. Positive relationships between parents and children are important for addressing behavioral issues associated with
Intellectual disability is complex and affects each person differently. It involves below average cognitive ability and difficulties in areas of functioning that are present from childhood. While IQ provides a measure of cognitive ability, it does not define the whole person or their needs. Providing support requires understanding each individual's unique profile of abilities, circumstances, and how intellectual disability impacts them.
1. Aphasia refers to loss of language ability due to brain damage, while alexia and agraphia refer specifically to impairments in reading and writing respectively.
2. Historical studies by Broca and Wernicke in the 19th century localized language functions to specific brain regions, which was later confirmed by modern imaging.
3. Lesions in different brain areas can cause different types of aphasia such as Broca's (non-fluent) or Wernicke's (fluent) aphasia, depending on whether expressive or receptive language is more impaired. Disconnection syndromes can also cause language deficits by disrupting connections between language areas.
Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive disorder affecting movement and posture, often with associated epilepsy, vision, speech, and intellectual impairments, resulting from brain lesions or defects during development. It is the most common motor disability in childhood, affecting 2-2.5 per 1,000 children in the US. Causes include prematurity, genetic factors, infections, and brain injuries during prenatal, perinatal, or postnatal periods. Common types are spastic diplegia, hemiplegia, and quadriplegia. Diagnosis involves assessing abnormal movements, tone, reflexes and ruling out other causes through history and examination.
The document provides a history of autism including its original use by Bleuler in 1911 and further definition by Kanner in 1943. It discusses research and definitions by Asperger, Eisenberg, Creak, and Rutter that helped characterize autism. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) included autism for the first time in 1980 and further defined pervasive developmental disorders. The DSM-IV criteria require impairments in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. Prevalence of autism has increased since first measured in 1966, estimated now at 1 in 150 children. Boys are 4 times more likely to be affected than girls.
Neurodevelopmental Treatment and Cerebral Palseyda5884
This document summarizes a PICO question about the effectiveness of neurodevelopmental therapy (NDT) in improving gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy compared to alternative or no therapy. NDT targets the neuromuscular and central nervous systems to improve postural control and movement patterns. The document reviews 3 articles that provide evidence that NDT is not more effective than alternative therapies in improving gross motor skills, though results may vary based on treatment techniques and protocols. Implications for practice include critically evaluating why NDT is used and identifying which aspects are most helpful through future research.

The Insomnia Severity Index is a 7 question assessment used to evaluate the severity of insomnia. Respondents rate their sleep difficulties over the past 2 weeks on a scale of 0-4 for each question. Scores are added up to determine the total: 0-7 indicates no clinically significant insomnia, 8-14 is subthreshold insomnia, 15-21 is moderate clinical insomnia, and 22-28 is severe clinical insomnia. The assessment evaluates difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, waking too early, satisfaction with sleep patterns, noticeability of sleep problems to others, levels of worry about sleep, and interference of sleep problems with daily functioning.
Self-Regulation, Creativity, and Problem-Solving Through Playbcmuseum
This document discusses the importance of play for developing self-regulation, creativity, and problem-solving skills in children. It argues that the core executive functions of inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility can be strengthened through play. Play not only directly trains these skills but also reduces stress and fosters social and emotional well-being, which supports executive function development. Specific examples of activities like storytelling, games, and pretend play are provided that challenge executive functions in developmentally appropriate ways.
