Play helps the child to learn new skills, improve social/family interaction and develop other functions

performance skills :gross motor skills, fine motor skills, process skills

performance patterns :habit, routine

performance context :cultural, physical, social

depend on each child's problem

they might be achievable and realistic

cerebral palsy kids: manage muscle tone/improve coordination, balance, and hand function/improve communication/improve transition from one surface to othersIndependent seating, standing and walking/improve play/improve ADL tasks/improve handwriting skills/Potty training

Autism and ADHD kids: improve attention and seating tolerance/lessen sensory issues ( like tactile defensiveness)/improve social interaction/follow multiple commands

ability to regulate or direct the mechanisms essential to the movement

goals: Improve Abnormal muscle tone/Sensory dysfunction/Muscle weakness/Poor endurance

approaches:Sensory Integration/Neurodevelopmental therapy/Strength training/Perceptual motor training

decrease the underlying deficit improving performance and helping to improve postural control, balance, visual perception, and body awareness

based on the senses and its adaptive integration to make it effective.

different sensory strategies (such as joint compression, blanket wrap, and slow rocking)

A variety of equipment (such as scooter board, and bolster swing) used

NDT is based on the normal development and movement

therapist develops a program which helps the child to avoid any abnormal patterns of movement because of abnormal muscle tone

different techniques:Weight-bearing over the affected side/trunk rotation/Facilitation of slow and controlled movements/Proper positioning/Incorporating the upper extremity into functional activity

include reach, grasp, carry and voluntary release, in-hand manipulation, and bilateral hand use

OT provides visual motor integration it includes the interaction of visual skills, visual perceptual skills, and motor skills

therapy:Improvement in postural tone and control/muscle strength/isolated arm and hand movement/Use of splint and adaptive devices

individual and group therapy program development, and consultation

Behavior management strategies

OT can help improving in sucking, drinking, biting, and chewing

Environmental adaptations, positioning adaptations, intervention for sensory problems, adaptive equipment, modification of food and liquid properties

OT train kids in toilet training, hygiene training, one to one training in dressing, assistive technology, and environmental modification

OT uses play as a modality in intervention planning

sitting posture/pencil gripping pattern/perception/visual motor integration/eye-hand coordination.

assistance with medical/ educational diagnosis

documentation of developmental and functional status

planning of intervention programs
