Study Notes
Sensory Processing Challenges in Adolescence
- Many children with anxiety and depression have sensory processing issues that develop into anxiety, substance abuse, addiction, and depression, as well as risky behaviors in adolescence
- Sensory processing and integration evaluation methods for adolescents include:
- Standardized assessments (SP-3D, SIPT)
- Parent/self-report measures
- Clinical observations
- Arousal state changes in response to sensations
- State of alertness
- Attention
- Balance, strength, and endurance
- Visual tracking and ocular motor screening
- Imitating complex novel movements
- Repetitive motor patterns
- Environmental awareness
- Observations based on Sensory Integration Theory by Erna Blanche
- Occupational Profile
- Sensory Processing and Integration Function in Adolescence assessment tools:
- Auditory processing screening tools (SCAN-3: A, TAPS-4)
- Visual motor/perceptual assessments (DVPT-A, MVPT-4, S-VMPT, TVMS-3, TVPS-4, VMI-6, WRAVMA)
- Interoceptive Awareness Assessment
- MAIA-2
- Assessment of Adaptive Skills related to Sensory Processing and Integration Function in Adolescence tools:
- Adaptive behavior/life skill rating scales (ABAS-3, Vineland-3)
- Sensory checklists (Adult/Adolescent Sensory Profile®, Spiral Adolescent Sensory Questionnaire)
- Behavioral assessments (BASC-3)
- Executive function/attention rating scales (BRIEF-2, Quality of life- QOLI)
- Social Participation
- COMPS
Sensory Processing Impact on Regulation
- Sensory modulation challenges often result in dysregulation
- Three types of sensory processing disorder
- Sensory craving: can never be satisfied to meet their thresholds.
- Sensory modulation: over or under responsive
- Sensory Discrimination: not over or under responsive, but bodies cannot efficiently process the information regarding a specific sensation. May look like over or under but really a discrimination challenge.
- Sensory modulation challenges are what allow us to have motor plans, actions, and outcomes
Sensory Integration Postulates Regarding Change
- If the therapist provides sensory opportunities specific to the child's responsivity challenge, then the child will be more likely to learn to self-regulate.
- If the therapist utilizes principles from sensory integration, then the child will be more likely to show improved sensory modulation, postural control, praxis, bilateral coordination, and discrimination.
- If the therapist shares the sensory experience and varies affect, tone, and volume of voice based on the child's sensory responsivity pattern, then the child will be more likely to engage in playful interactions.
- If the therapist provides the child with opportunities to develop interoceptive discrimination, the child will likely develop emotional awareness and control of his or her body.
- If the therapist provides ongoing postural challenges (alignment, weight bearing and weight shifting, balance, antigravity control, core stability, strength, and endurance}, the child will be better able to perform age-appropriate gross and fine motor activities.
- If the therapist encourages repeated opportunities with graded support for conceptualization planning and sequencing and execution, evaluation of results and problem solving the child will develop foundational abilities that will ensure better behavior organization in daily life.
Intervention Strategies
- ASECRET: Attention, Sensation, Emotion Regulation, Culture, Relationship, Environment, Task
- STAR Process Fidelity Measure
- Treatment Methods for Adolescents:
- Goal Identification
- TUOS/partnership/safety
- Client Education/Problem solving
- Guided Sensory Exploration
- Playfulness
- Co-regulation
- Sensory Integration Activities
- Self-Regulation Strategies
- Sensory Lifestyle Planning
- Physical Activity
- Advocacy for Accommodations and Adaptations
- Collaboration with Parents, partners, friends
Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI)
- The theoretical base for the ASI FOR
- Developed by Ayres.
- An interview may not be the best choice for a person with cognitive impairments or with symptoms that interfere with cognitive processing or the ability to have accurate insights about his or her performance.
Self Report
- Self-report tools, including questionnaires, checklists, and surveys, are a method of data gathering that acknowledges the person’s expertise in his or her illness experience.
- Self-report tool is an assessment that requires a person to read an item and select or compose a response.
- Example: The Child Occupational Self-Assessment (COSA) is a children’s version of the OSA.
- Both assessments were designed to be person-directed that gather data on a person’s values and sense of competence when completing everyday activities of daily life.
- The COSA is used to assess:
- how a child perceives his or her level of competence when completing everyday activities
- the value the child places on these activities.
- This tool is used to gather data while maximizing the child’s opportunity to identify and engage in planning for how to address prioritized and meaningful occupations.
- Another tool with both adult and child versions specifically on the sensory processing that may impact occupational function is the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (11-90 years old).
- This tool is designed to measure a person’s sensory processing preferences and his or her responses to sensory events that occur in everyday life.
- The A/ASP is intentionally designed as a self-report and ideally completed by the person you are working with as opposed to an informant.
Performance Assessments
- Performance assessment, especially in natural environments can help practitioners to assess the frequency, strength, and pervasiveness of both problem and positive behaviors.
- The use of specific performance assessment tools allow the practitioner to set a baseline of performance and compare a person’s performances through time or compare one person’s performance with another's or against a benchmark that constitutes skilled performance.
