Lecture of Dr. Nieto Latorre Vitto

Infant Development

The infant stimulation section provides


user with suggested activities and
materials designed to elicit appropriate
responses from the child
The infant requires significant
environmental input before a response
can be expected, therefore, many of
the items listed are those behaviors the
parent or educator does with the child
Lecture of Dr. Nieto Latorre Vitto

10/5/2013

Socialization

Socialization skills are those appropriate


behaviors that involve living and
interacting with other people.
During the preschool years, social
behaviors are reflected in the manner in
which the child works and plays with
parents, siblings, and playmates
Lecture of Dr. Nieto Latorre Vitto

10/5/2013

Language

The child begins to learn language by


listening to the speech in his
environment and observing the setting
in which it occurs.
He begins making sounds, then
babbling, and finally actual words begin
to appear
Lecture of Dr. Nieto Latorre Vitto

10/5/2013

Self-Help

Behaviors which enable the child to


care for himself in the areas of feeding,
dressing, bathing and toileting.
Development of self-help behaviors aid
the child in his efforts to become a
happy, independent member of a family
and community
Lecture of Dr. Nieto Latorre Vitto

10/5/2013

Cognitive

Cognition or thinking is the ability to


remember, see or hear likenesses and
differences, and to determine
relationships between ideas and things.
The curriculum in the cognitive area
includes activities ranging from
beginning awareness of self and the
immediate environment to awareness of
number concepts, repeating stories and
making comparisons.
Lecture of Dr. Nieto Latorre Vitto

10/5/2013

Motor

Coordinated movements of large and


small muscles of the body.
Examples of gross motor activities are
sitting, crawling, walking, running, and
throwing a ball.
Fine motor activities are refinements of
the gross motor skills

From Whom to Get Information

Members of the family (nuclear and


extended)
Nannies and caretakers
Teachers and teacher-aides
Actual observation of the child

Information must be validated or


triangulated
Lecture of Dr. Nieto Latorre Vitto

10/5/2013

Importance of Accomplishing

Same profile, log information, and


checklist can be passed on to the next
interventionist/teacher
Advantage of not going back to the
troubleshooting (back to zero) but can
immediately start from where the
previous interventionist stopped
Lecture of Dr. Nieto Latorre Vitto

10/5/2013

Troubleshooting

If the child is normal, start assessing


from the developmental milestones of
his/her age range
If the child is handicapped, estimate
his/her behavioral performance and
start from there
Lecture of Dr. Nieto Latorre Vitto

10/5/2013

Locating the Baseline

Assign (+) for milestone that a child


can readily do and (-) for task that is
not yet mastered
Five continuous (+) followed by a (-)
for the first time refers to the baseline
All items below the baseline are
considered (+)
Lecture of Dr. Nieto Latorre Vitto

10/5/2013

Locating the Ceiling

After finding the baseline, you have to


continue assessing
There will be (+) and (-) along the way,
just continue
Five continuous (-) mark the ceiling
Beyond the ceiling signals that the child
has no mastery of all the tasks therein
Lecture of Dr. Nieto Latorre Vitto

10/5/2013

Range of Training

Found between the upper limit of the


Baseline and the lower limit of the Ceiling
Picture out those (+) and (-). The (-)
ones are your target for intervention
Items are arranged hierarchically.
Interventionists are advised to follow
teaching them in that sequence
*In case of backsliding, simply go back
to the prior item and proceed only after
showing mastery Lecture of Dr. Nieto Latorre Vitto 10/5/2013

The Card File

On item marked (-), be guided by the


color-code and the number of the item
In each card file, several activities are
suggested. You may adopt or modify to
fit your culture
Select any one of them until a mastery
has been shown
Lecture of Dr. Nieto Latorre Vitto

10/5/2013

Sample Activity: Infant Dev 11

#11 Turns head toward nipple when his


cheek is touched
Activity Suggestions: 1) Hold baby in same
position each time you initiate feeding
2) Tap or stroke cheek with finger, then
touch nipple to mouth
3) Tap under chin, then touch cheek
4) If child does not turn head toward the
nipple, gently turn his head toward it. Give
the child an opportunity to turn his head
toward the nipple by himself before assisting
him in this way
Lecture of Dr. Nieto Latorre Vitto

10/5/2013

Sample Activity:Language 22

Age 1-2
Names 5 other family members,
including pets
Activity Suggestions: 1) Throughout the day,
be sure to use each members name often so
child will hear the names frequently.
Encourage child to distinguish between family
members: Give the ball to Sue Please give a
spoon to Johnny
Play a game with all family members standing
in a row. Every time child points to and names
a person correctly, have that person throw a
ball to him. Accept close approximations of
family members names, as some may be
difficult to the young child
to say
Lecture of Dr. Nieto Latorre Vitto 10/5/2013

Sample Activity: Cognitive 30

Age 2-3 Copies a circle


Activity Suggestions: 1) Make people, snow people,
or animal out of construction paper circles. Draw a
large circle and then ask child to draw some circle
shapes of his own that you can help him cut. Then
help child glue the shapes together to make people
or animals. Encourage him to use crayons to make
facial features or other details, add hair with yarn,
etc.
2) Use a circular puzzle piece or round cookie cutter
for the child to trace around. If she has difficulty,
put your hand over hers and guide her in making the
circular movements with a crayon or thick pencil,
whichever is easier.
Lecture of Dr. Nieto Latorre Vitto 10/5/2013

Collaborations

Some activities can be done at home.


Assign them to the parents and then
follow-up and validate during the next
consultation
Consultations are ideally done every
two weeks. Check if the items are
already mastered then enter them in
the checklist
In IEP, the child may need the
professional services of other people
aside from the interventionist
Lecture of Dr. Nieto Latorre Vitto

10/5/2013
