Answer 5

motor to social to behavior

Question 6

Sensory Processing Disorders

Answer 6

Sensory modulation disorder, sensory-based motor disorder, sensory discrimination disorder

Question 7

Sensory modulation disorder

Answer 7

Difficulty regulating.
Failure to orient to Over-orientation

Over responsiveness (defensiveness)

Under Responsiveness (dormancy)

Sensory seeking/avoiding

Question 8

Sensory-based motor disorder

Answer 8

Dyspraxia and Postural Disorder

Question 9

Dyspraxia

Answer 9

issues with motor planning

Question 10

Praxis

Answer 10

motor planning

Question 11

Motor Planning Steps

Answer 11

ideation, construction, execution

Question 12

Postural Disorders

Answer 12

poor core strength and endurance, poor balance and body awareness

No internal motivation, poor coordination, poor ocular motor, poor gravitational security

Question 13

Aging & System Processing

Answer 13

Gradual decline in sensory and cognitive processing.

Increase in multisensory processing, ( due to decreased saliency of sensory input from sensory discrimination)

Question 14

Sensory discrimination disorder

Answer 14

Unable to distinguish certain sensory information

Question 15

Sensory discrimination disorder: Proprioception

Answer 15

Poor body awareness can result in poor posture and seeking of sensory information to give proprioceptive info

Question 16

Sensory discrimination disorder: Vestibular

Answer 16

Presentts as low muscle tone, poor balance, avoidant of activities

Question 17

Sensory discrimination disorder: Tactile

Answer 17

Ability to discriminate touch and conform to objects and pressure (dorsal column medial leminiscal tract)
Presents as difficulty with fine motor skills. Avoidant of textures. Hypersensitive to touch

Question 18

Sensory discrimination disorder: Vision

Answer 18

Influences hand-eye- coordination, spatial orientation, visual-motor, imagery, mental manipulation.

Avoidant of visual stimuli, or hesitant to go play

Question 19

Sensory discrimination disorder: Auditory

Answer 19

Negative resposnes to loud noises, difficulty focusing with background noise, overstimulation. Cant habituate. Connection to limbic system

Question 20

Sensory discrimination disorder: Taste and Smell

Answer 20

hypersensitivity to tasets and smells. Avoidance of certain places or people due to associations. Olfactory is only system directly related to limic system.

Question 21

Sensory modulation disorder: Failure to orient

Answer 21

Subtle limbic response: Lack of attention, shutdown or withdrawal.

Question 22

Sensory modulation disorder: Over Orientation

Answer 22

Overt limbic response: Imploding or exploding, escalation, avoidant, fight or flight, fight or freeze, shutdown or withdrawal
