Study Notes

TICLS Acronym Overview

  • TICLS stands for Tone, Interactiveness, Consolability, Look/Gaze, and Speech/Cry.
  • This acronym is used as a quick reference for assessing pediatric patients effectively.

Tone

  • Refers to the child's muscle tone and overall body posture.
  • Assessment of tone can indicate neurological function and level of distress.

Interactiveness

  • Measures the child's ability to engage with others and respond to stimuli.
  • High interactiveness is typically a positive sign of a child's neurological health.

Consolability

  • Evaluates how easily a child can be comforted or calmed.
  • Poor consolability may indicate significant discomfort or distress.

Look/Gaze

  • Observes the child's ability to focus and make eye contact.
  • A lack of gaze can suggest issues with visual attention or neurological impairments.

Speech/Cry

  • Involves assessing the quality and appropriateness of a child's speech and cry.
  • Abnormalities in speech or a weak cry may indicate developmental concerns or distress levels.
