-"You scored a goal 4 out of 10 times" -It's best to provide knowledge of performance rather than knowledge of results. The option about how many goals were scored is an example of knowledge of results, and would not really be helpful to a child with DCD who is learning to put together the components of playing soccer. -Recommend that he play an individual sport, such as golf, instead -If a kiddo wants to play a team sport, it would not be patient-centered to recommend something else. Instead, focusing on breaking down the skills required, as well as reviewing the rules, are important ways to help David reach his goal of playing flag football.
Lila is a 7yo girl with DCD. One of her PT goals is to be able to play soccer in a recreational league with her neighbors. You are working on soccer skills during your session today.

Vivie is a 7yo girl in second grade recently referred for a PT evaluation at school by her teacher who said, "Vivie is all over the classroom, I can't keep her in her seat". Prior to seeing her for the evaluation, you quietly observe Vivie from the back of the room. When the class is seated and working on a craft activity, Vivie is standing and moving from table to table, sitting down and standing up several times, and climbs onto the table. You suspect that Vivie has some difficulties with sensory integration. Which of the following is the best goal for your upcoming treatment sessions based on your observations? -Work on gentle movements on the swing in the PT gym -Work at a sensory table at the beginning of a session -Combine balance tasks with simple addition -Add a weighted vest to activities during PT
-Not using 2-word phrases -At 1 year of age, we would expect Maddie to be saying some words, babbling, making gestures, making eye contact, and responding when her name is called. Putting two words together comes a bit later, so would not be a concern yet. -Tactile Over-Registration -Benny is showing signs of Tactile Over-Registration, or a hypersensitivity to touch.
You are seeing Maddie for an evaluation in early intervention. She just had her first birthday, and her Mom is concerned that she is not walking. While you are doing your evaluation and observing Maddie playing with her 3yo brother, you notice that she mostly plays on her own and doesn't really interact with her brother, who keeps trying to get her attention. All of the following are early signs of Autism except: -No babbling or using words -Not using 2-word phrases -Not responding when her brother calls her name -Not making eye contact with you Benny is a 4yo recently diagnosed with Autism. He demonstrates some aversion to certain clothes and foods, and does not like others to touch him. What sensory system impairment is described here? -Tactile Under-Registration -Proprioceptive Over-Registration -Tactile Over-Registration -Vestibular Under-Registration
-Walking on a treadmill at 85% HRR -Research has shown that high-intensity aerobic activity can improve ASD-specific behaviors. 85% of HRR is high-intensity. -Tell her how cute Chip is and ask to see more videos -Chip is showing signs of Autism (flapping, not responding to his name, decreased eye contact), so we can rule out DCD. We would not be giving a diagnosis of Autism, and the MCHAT identifies risk facts and does not give a diagnosis. The best thing to do would be to ask to see more videos to guide your next step. If you continue to suspect Autism, you may choose to tell Mrs. Pott's what you're seeing, and recommend that she see Chip's MD for more testing.
You are seeing Rob, a 10yo with ASD, in your outpatient clinic. Which of the following interventions is likely to have the most impact on his tendency to rock and raise his voice when he's upset? -Walking on a treadmill at 40% HRR -Walking on a treadmill at 85% HRR -Working on Tennis skills -Balance activities on a bosu The receptionist at your outpatient clinic, Mrs. Potts, has a 4-year-old son named Chip. She is excited to show you a video of her son on the playground. As you watch, you notice that he frequently flaps his hands, and does not look toward the camera when his mother calls his name. He appears to have difficulty sequencing his extremities as he climbs the equipment and does not stop himself at the bottom of the slide, landing on his bottom. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step? -Tell her how cute Chip is and ask to see more videos -Let Mrs. Potts know that Chip might have Developmental Coordination Disorder -Recommend that Mrs. Potts fill out the MCHAT to see if Chip has a diagnosis of Autism -Gently let Mrs. Potts know that Chip has Autism
