Righting Reactions- develop at or shortly after birth in response to the new environment of gravity. They are most distinguishable at 10-12 months old and remain active throughout life, providing integrated movement between the head and trunk, and the body and gravity Primitive Reflexes-are stereotypical movement patterns in response to specific stimuli. In other words, each time a stimulus is provided, the same movement pattern is elicited with no or limited variation for typically healthy development. PR- integrate by 4-6 months of age although a few remain as reflexes throughout life. Integration is accomplished when equal and opposite reflexes modulate each other for more variable and mature movements.

Explain the OT's role.

1. Responsible for all aspects of service delivery and accountable for the safety and effectiveness of the OT service delivery process (which includes evaluation, intervention planning, intervention implementation, intervention review, and outcome evaluation). 2. Directs the evaluation process (must complete the evaluation herself, but can delegate certain aspects i.e. assessments to the OTA). 3. Overall responsibility for the development and implementation of the intervention plan. 4. Responsible for determining the need for continuing, modifying, or discontinuing OT services. 5. Selecting, measuring, and interpreting outcomes that are related to the client's ability to engage in occupations. 6. Responsible for supervision of the OTA (depending on setting and OTA experience the supervision may vary, i.e. direct to minimal supervision). 7. Responsible for the overall use and actions of the OT aide. Trained by the OT or OTA to perform specifically delegated tasks (which could be client and non-client tasks).
