Study Notes

Developing Attachments between Parents and Children

Touch, smell, and movement are vital sensory perceptions for newborn infants, helping maintain contact with caregivers.
Nursing, nuzzling, and cuddling are behaviors that foster these important sensory connections.
Tactile sensations play a crucial role in forming primary attachment relationships, enhancing feelings of security in infants.
Physical contact through tactile interaction is significant for emotional development and bonding.
Proprioception is important in mother-infant relationships, allowing infants to comfortably fit against caregivers’ bodies.
The combination of tactile and proprioceptive experiences lays the groundwork for the development of body scheme.
Body scheme refers to the brain's internal map of the body and the spatial relationships between its parts.

Importance of Sensory Experiences

Touch, smell, and movement are crucial for newborns in forming attachments with caregivers.
Infants rely on physical interactions such as nursing, nuzzling, and cuddling to maintain closeness with caregivers.

Role of Tactile Sensations

Tactile sensations play a vital role in establishing primary attachment relationships.
Positive touch fosters feelings of security and emotional well-being in infants.

Proprioception in Attachment

Proprioception allows infants to physically mold to their caregiver, enhancing bonding.
This sensory input contributes to comfortable and nurturing interactions, reinforcing attachment.

Development of Body Scheme

Tactile and proprioceptive experiences lay the foundation for developing a body scheme.
The body scheme is essential for understanding bodily parts and their interrelations, crucial for emotional and physical development.

Bioecological Model of Child Development

Developed and updated by Urie Bronfenbrenner.
Child development is viewed as a reciprocal relationship between the child's characteristics and their environments.
Highlights the significance of context in child development and its impact on occupational participation and performance.
Emphasizes the interplay between child, family, community, and broader geopolitical contexts.

Transactions and Relationships

Interaction among various contexts aids in occupational development.
Strong relationships facilitate environmental changes that can positively influence child development.

Contextual Layers

The bioecological model consists of five contextual layers that influence development:
- Physical Context: The immediate environment where the child interacts.
- Social Context: Relationships and social networks that affect the child's development.
- Cultural Context: Cultural beliefs, values, and practices shaping experiences.
- Virtual Context: Digital environments and interactions via technology.
- Temporal Context: The impact of time, history, and life transitions on development.

Bioecological Model Contextual Layers

Five layers of influence on child development: Individual Child, Caregivers, Family Context, Community, and Geopolitical Contexts.

Layer 1: Individual Child

Child's participation in activities is shaped by skills, health (both physical and mental), and the environment.
Attachment to caregivers aids in understanding emotions and social relationships.
Influences include:
- Genetics
- Adverse childhood experiences
- Resiliency

Layer 2: Caregivers

Caregiver factors affecting the child include education level, socioeconomic status, gender, ethnicity, cultural beliefs, and their own health.
Sensitive and responsive caregiving promotes healthy social-emotional development.
Key aspects:
- Socio-emotional status
- Educational background
- Physical and mental health
- Availability and attention towards the child

Layer 3: Family Context

Family structure and home environment play critical roles in a child's development.
Positive influences include attentiveness to needs, support, and engagement in routines.
Cultural practices shape child-rearing philosophies and acceptance of disabilities, affecting social play behaviors.
Elements contributing to child engagement:
- Access to play materials
- Adult attitudes towards play
- Opportunities for play partners

Layer 4: Community

Encompasses external institutions like schools, peers, neighborhoods, and religious entities.
Community characteristics can create barriers or opportunities for occupational participation.
Key community elements include:
- Funding for child activities (sports, recreation)
- Access to safe playgrounds
- Quality of schools
- Availability of public transportation
- Existence of green spaces

Layer 5: Geopolitical Contexts

Broader societal factors that influence a child's life experience include healthcare policies and social justice issues (racism, sexism, ableism).
Concepts of occupational justice highlight disparities that limit individual participation in life choices.
Formation of a knowledge economy emphasizes the importance of access to technology and information.
The transactional model illustrates interactions within various contexts (physical, social, political) that influence a child's occupational development and sense of belonging.

Kielhofner Model of Human Occupation (MOHO)

MOHO is a widely practiced and well-researched model in occupational therapy.
It highlights the dynamic nature of occupational performance through individual experiences and interactions.

Key Elements of MOHO

Volition:
- Comprises values, interests, and personal causation.
- Values represent important aspects for the child.
- Interests are activities perceived as enjoyable.
- Personal causation reflects self-efficacy, or belief in one’s abilities.
Habituation:
- Involves habits and roles that shape daily activities.
- MOHO assesses the child’s understanding of role expectations and their confidence in fulfilling those roles.
Performance Capacity:
- Refers to the mental and physical skills necessary for daily tasks.
- Considers the child’s subjective view of their own occupational performance.
Environment:
- Encompasses physical, social, occupational, cultural, economic, and political contexts.
- MOHO points to the unique ways environments influence children’s performance and identity.

Occupational Identity

Children develop their identity through meaningful engagement in occupations.
Achieving an occupational identity is a primary goal of occupational therapy interventions.

Occupational Adaptation

Changes in performance or perceptions lead to new methods of engagement, creating occupational adaptability.
This adaptability contributes to the formation of a child’s occupational identity.

Assessments and Therapeutic Methods

MOHO includes six child-specific assessments that are adaptable for diverse needs.
Nine therapeutic methods in MOHO facilitate change in occupational performance:
- Validating
- Identifying
- Giving feedback
- Advising
- Negotiating
- Structuring
- Coaching
- Encouraging
- Providing physical support

Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement (CMOP-E)

CMOP-E promotes occupational engagement through a framework that emphasizes enablement, social justice, and environmental factors.
Enablement involves empowering individuals, contrasting with the concept of disablement.
Social justice within CMOP-E seeks a vision where individuals can engage in meaningful occupations, enhancing health, quality of life, and equity across various aspects such as housing and employment.
The environment encompasses cultural, institutional, physical, and social factors that impact occupational performance.
Engagement refers to an individual’s participation in activities that are meaningful, categorized as occupations.
Spirituality is considered the core element of the CMOP-E model, influencing overall well-being.
Key components of the person within the model include cognition, affect, and physical factors.
The model advocates for both social and occupational justice, highlighting the importance of equitable access to meaningful activities.
Occupations are defined as self-care, productivity (e.g., work, school, volunteering), and leisure (e.g., play).
Focus is on creating supportive environments to enhance health, well-being, and overall justice.

Canadian Occupational Performance Measurement (COPM)

COPM was developed to complement the CMOP-E framework, functioning as a semi-structured interview tool.
The tool is particularly useful for involving parents and adolescents in discussions about occupational goals.
Occupational therapists play a crucial role in guiding children and youth in goal-setting, choice-making, and daily living engagement.
Therapists assess children's strengths, abilities, demands, and motivations while considering their physical, neurological, and musculoskeletal capabilities.
The collaborative process is vital for facilitating positive change in children’s occupational performance within their home, community, and political settings.

Person-Environment-Occupation-Performance Model (PEOP)

Facilitates change in person, occupation, or environment to enhance participation in desired activities.
Stresses the importance of an individual's narrative, encompassing past, present, and future perspectives, choices, interests, goals, and needs.
Defines occupations as activities, tasks, roles, and classifications relevant to everyday life for children and youth.
Proposes that occupational performance arises from a dynamic relationship between the person, environment, and occupation.
Serves as an analytic tool to pinpoint factors that may support or impede engagement in selected occupations.
Aims for improved participation and wellness in occupational performance.
Promotes active collaboration between occupational therapists and clients, centered on understanding personal narratives.
Changing one or more factors can enhance engagement for children and families, optimizing participation and well-being.
Lacks specific assessments tied to the PEOP model.

Occupational Adaptation Model (OA)

Suggests participation in preferred occupations stems from a "press for mastery," involving occupational roles, demands, challenges, and responses.
Influenced by personal factors such as cognitive, sensory, motor, and psychosocial aspects, along with various contexts.
Refers to a child or youth's capability to partake in desired occupations and modify performance based on situational demands.
Emphasizes an inherent desire to master the environment and engage in occupations.
The environment necessitates adaptability and changing responses rather than being static.
The "press for mastery" results from the interplay between a person's competencies and environmental demands, prompting adaptive responses.
Defines relative mastery through three key attributes: Effectiveness in participation, Efficiency, and Satisfaction.
Focuses on empowering children and youth to initiate changes, devise strategies, and utilize resources for meaningful engagement in occupations.
