48
what are some questions you would ask a parent of a 0-12 mon old?

50
what are some questions you would ask a parents of a 18 mon - 3 year old?

51
How to assess the patient's sensory response (4)
1. motor output 2. autonomic response 3. emotional response 4. postural resonse
52
how do you choose sensory stimulation for treatment?

adaptive responses (then decrease input) -
55
what can you assume if the child demonstrates an adaptive response to sensory stimulation?

81
how would you increase visual input?
mirrors, model behavior, shading, templates, increase lighting, designate environmental boundaries
