AOTA Patient Assessment & Evaluation 3

Question 1

When conducting a sensory history with a caregiver, which area of inquiry is MOST relevant to identifying vestibular processing differences?

Accepted Answer

Response to movement activities such as swings, car rides, and spinning

Answer

Reactions to movement-based activities such as swings, car rides, and spinning directly reflect vestibular processing and tolerance.

Question 2

The Ayres Clinical Observations include which of the following as a measure of bilateral motor coordination?

Accepted Answer

Jumping jacks performed in sequence

Answer

Jumping jacks require the two body sides to move in coordinated, alternating patterns and are used in clinical observations to assess bilateral motor coordination.

Question 3

A 7-year-old scores significantly low on Design Copying and Motor Accuracy subtests of the SIPT. These results suggest difficulties primarily with:

Accepted Answer

Visual-form and visual-motor integration

Answer

Design Copying and Motor Accuracy assess visual-form perception and visuomotor integration, which are related to visual-spatial processing in the SIPT framework.

Question 4

Which statement best describes the relationship between evaluation findings and intervention planning in sensory integration therapy?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation data, clinical observations, and occupational profile are integrated to create individualized goals

Answer

ASI-based intervention planning requires integrating standardized scores, clinical observations, and the child's occupational profile to develop individualized, occupation-based goals.

Question 5

The Sensory Profile (Dunn, 2014) organizes sensory processing patterns into four quadrants. Which quadrant describes a child who is highly sensitive to sensory input and actively avoids it?

Accepted Answer

Sensation Avoiding

Answer

Sensation Avoiding describes children with high neurological thresholds who use active behavioral strategies to limit or avoid sensory input.
