COTA Skills 105 - Sensorimotor Approaches to Tx, Interventions for Deficits in Vision and Other Sensory Fxs, and

Course overview

•Describe the sensorimotor approach to treatment. •Name 4 traditional sensorimotor treatment approaches. •Formulate 3 goals of each of the sensorimotor treatment approaches. •Identify sensorimotor deficits in patients with neurological dysfunction. •Describe how each of the sensorimotor treatment approaches can be used ADL training. •Discuss the functional effects of sensory loss or dysfunction. •Outilne the process of recovery from peripheral nerve dysfunction. •Discuss the process of organizing and processing visual perception. •Explain the importance of the client's visual history. •Identify the role of the ophthalmologist/optometrist and how they work with OT. •Outline visual functions within a hierarchy. •Examine remedial strategies used for treatment of visual dysfunction. •Identify and describe compensatory strategies for clients with visual dysfunction. •Describe and classify perceptual dysfunction. •Identify compensatory strategies for specific cognitive deficits. •Identify the effects of perceptual motor deficits on functional skills. •Analyze various external strategies to assist with transfer of learning for cognitive dysfunction. •Compare and contrast internal/external memory strategies for cognitive deficits.
