What is postural equilibrium?
The process of establishing the COM over the BOS once displaced
In newborns, what is reflexive and not for purposeful use?
Grasp
When does infancy transition take place?
10-12 months
What does the typical walking pattern of an early walker include?
UE in high/abducted position
Lumbar lordosis, protruding belly
LE abducted with wide BOS
Rapid cadence (appear as if they’re falling)
Why is early intervention important for infants with abnormal development or developmental delay?
Rapid brain development and neuroplastcity are critical during the first few years of life, making early intervention essential for maximizing developmental outcomes and improving skills.
Congenital damage to the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the neck, resulting in limited ROM in cervical rotation and side bending. Named for the sideof the affected muscle, leading to a head tilt towards that side.
Disabilities are often recognized and diagnosed, and development in this stage is critical for long-term functional skills. Impressionable period in regards to social and emotional development.
Which side of the brain sees more neural activity during the preschool stage?
Left hemisphere, resaon for increased language development.
Development of pragmatic language skills. Expressive and receptive vocabulary increases; by age 3, a child typically knows 1,000 words by age 3 and by age 4, a child connects sentences and tells experiences/events in a sequence .
Expressive vocabulary
Refers to the words a child can use and articulate in speech to express themselves.
Receptive vocabulary
The ability to understand and process spoken or written language.
What are perceptual motor skills?
Controlled, volitional motor acts that respond in a dynamic way to sensory perceptions
The complex set of neurobiological functions that enable the brain to understand what is going on both inside the body and in all environmental contexts
What theory describes the senses as contributing to learning and to the development of important functional skills?
The Sensory Integration Theory.
What is the result of sensory integration dysfunction?
Difficulty acquiring the skills needed to perform well in both school and social environments. Due to innate developmental differences or extremely restricted childhood. May result in poor sensory processing.
Sensory modulation disorder
A condition where the brain has difficulty regulating and responding to sensory input, leading to over- or under-responsiveness to stimuli.
Sensory-based motor disorder
A condition characterized by challenges in planning and executing movements due to difficulties in processing sensory information.
Sensory discrimination disorder
A condition where individuals have trouble distinguishing between different types of sensory input, affecting their ability to respond appropriately to various stimuli.
Sensory seekers vs sensory avoiders
Sensory seekers actively seek out sensory experiences, while sensory avoiders tend to withdraw from overwhelming sensory input.
When does Middle Childhood take place?
ages 6-12, or onset of puberty
Growth rate slows, but there is an increase in body strength and physical endurance. Center of gravity drops to S1 and calibration of movement is more refined.
What is the visual acuity of low vision?
20/70 or worse and cannot be fully corrected with conventional glasses.
What type of coordination will visually impaired children rely more on?
ear-hand coordination, which develops 1-2 years later than hand-eye coordination.
What happens to attention span during Middle Childhood?
Extends, child can now attend to tasks that interest them for hours and can self-correct and redirect when attention is diverted.
There are no gender differences; children tailor their communication to different audiences.
What plays a greater role than gender in communication differences?
