概要

TLDRThe video illustrates occupational therapy techniques for a 4-year-old girl named Sophia, who struggles with sensory processing. The therapist focuses on providing structured sensory experiences to help Sophia maintain a calm and organized state. Techniques include using weighted vests and ankle/wrist weights for better body awareness, engaging in resistive play to improve grasp patterns, and incorporating activities that promote core strength and midline crossing. The session also includes heavy work activities and concludes with calming exercises to regulate Sophia's nervous system after active play.

タイムライン

  • 00:00:00 - 00:04:26

    Sophia, a 4-year-old, attends occupational therapy (OT) to improve her sensory processing and modulation. She requires structured sensory experiences to maintain calmness and organization. Techniques include using weights on her limbs to enhance body awareness and reduce movement speed. Sophia also struggles with immature grasp patterns, affecting her writing and self-feeding. Activities with Play-Doh and tongs are used to strengthen her hand muscles and improve grasp. Incorporating obstacle courses makes these tasks engaging. Reaching across the midline is practiced to enhance coordination and trunk rotation, while games on her stomach strengthen her core. Weighted vests provide sensory input and movement control. Activities are designed to improve eye-hand coordination and core engagement, with a focus on varying movement speeds. Heavy work activities are included to organize her movements. The Bosu ball is used for balance and core strength, while quick head position changes are integrated into play. Sessions conclude with calming activities to help regulate her nervous system after active engagement.

  • 00:00:06
    Sophia is 4 years old and has been
  • 00:00:08
    coming to OT primarily for
  • 00:00:10
    inefficiencies with processing and
  • 00:00:12
    modulation of sensory input this means
  • 00:00:15
    that her nervous system requires
  • 00:00:17
    increased amounts of input and sensory
  • 00:00:20
    experiences throughout the day to help
  • 00:00:22
    her maintain a calm organized
  • 00:00:24
    State the goal is to provide these
  • 00:00:27
    children with structured sensory
  • 00:00:28
    experiences in treat
  • 00:00:30
    and at home on a daily basis so they do
  • 00:00:33
    not have to seek out input in ways that
  • 00:00:34
    disrupt participation in daily tasks
  • 00:00:37
    placing weights on her ankles and wrists
  • 00:00:39
    allows Sophia to have a better sense of
  • 00:00:41
    her body in space they also work to help
  • 00:00:44
    keep her grounded and slow her
  • 00:00:47
    movements Sophia also exhibits immature
  • 00:00:50
    grasp patterns which can lead to Quick
  • 00:00:52
    fatigue with drawing and writing tasks
  • 00:00:54
    as well as decreased control when using
  • 00:00:56
    fork or spoon for self-feeding we
  • 00:00:59
    incorporate operate resistive games with
  • 00:01:01
    Play-Doh putty tongs and tweezers to
  • 00:01:04
    assist with the development of her hand
  • 00:01:06
    musculature and improve grasp
  • 00:01:09
    patterns for a greater challenge I ask
  • 00:01:11
    her to sustain the grasp while carrying
  • 00:01:13
    it from one point to another as you can
  • 00:01:16
    see this increases the difficulty but
  • 00:01:19
    turning the path into an obstacle course
  • 00:01:21
    makes the game
  • 00:01:22
    fun we also incorporate Reaching Across
  • 00:01:25
    midline into our sessions this helps to
  • 00:01:28
    develop integration between left and
  • 00:01:30
    right sides of the body and facilitates
  • 00:01:32
    trunk rotation having a strong sense of
  • 00:01:35
    midline provides Sophia with a reference
  • 00:01:37
    point from which she can
  • 00:01:40
    move playing games on her stomach helps
  • 00:01:43
    to strengthen her core and upper
  • 00:01:45
    extremities while this can be tiring we
  • 00:01:47
    are able to make the task motivating by
  • 00:01:50
    using the scooter board to retrieve
  • 00:01:51
    puzzle
  • 00:01:53
    [Music]
  • 00:01:57
    pieces like the wrist weight shown
  • 00:02:00
    earlier this weighted vest provides
  • 00:02:02
    additional input and boundaries for
  • 00:02:04
    Sophia it allows her to have improved
  • 00:02:06
    control of her movements as she
  • 00:02:08
    navigates people and obstacles within
  • 00:02:10
    her
  • 00:02:11
    environment can you find number two here
  • 00:02:14
    we are working on ey hand cordination
  • 00:02:16
    and slow controlled arm movements as
  • 00:02:19
    well as more midline Crossing as the
  • 00:02:21
    task itself is not too challenging she
  • 00:02:24
    is sitting on an uneven surface
  • 00:02:26
    requiring her to engage her core while
  • 00:02:28
    she is completing the
  • 00:02:31
    activity we practice moving fast and
  • 00:02:33
    slow during different games to help
  • 00:02:35
    Sophia learn to grade her movements in
  • 00:02:38
    this game I assist her in swinging the
  • 00:02:40
    fishing pole fast and slow as you can
  • 00:02:43
    see at this time she continues to prefer
  • 00:02:45
    going fast as it is difficult and takes
  • 00:02:48
    much more effort to move at a slow
  • 00:02:50
    controlled
  • 00:02:53
    Pace another way to organize a child's
  • 00:02:55
    movement is to have them participate in
  • 00:02:57
    heavy work activities in including
  • 00:03:00
    lifting pushing and moving heavier items
  • 00:03:03
    we incorporate this into our session as
  • 00:03:05
    a part of cleaning up
  • 00:03:09
    activities lastly we use the bosu ball
  • 00:03:12
    to help Sophia work on core strength and
  • 00:03:14
    balance as well as to slow her down and
  • 00:03:17
    separate her arm movements from
  • 00:03:18
    movements of her trunk furthermore to
  • 00:03:21
    provide her with additional sensory
  • 00:03:23
    input quick changes in head position are
  • 00:03:26
    included within games one way we do this
  • 00:03:29
    is having her bend down which places her
  • 00:03:31
    head in an inverted
  • 00:03:35
    position here you can see she is
  • 00:03:37
    reaching for toys presented through her
  • 00:03:41
    legs we also work on reaching up and
  • 00:03:43
    looking back to retrieve toys held over
  • 00:03:46
    her head it is important that we end our
  • 00:03:49
    sessions with calming organizing input
  • 00:03:52
    while not shown here the last 5 to 10
  • 00:03:54
    minutes of Sophia's sessions are
  • 00:03:57
    generally spent with the lights down
  • 00:03:59
    slow rhythmic swinging and breathing
  • 00:04:02
    activities this helps to slow her
  • 00:04:04
    nervous system and regulate her state of
  • 00:04:06
    arousal after all of the movement she
  • 00:04:08
    engaged in during the session thank you
  • 00:04:11
    thank
