[email protected] Occupational Therapy: Plan of Action Demographic Information Name: Herb San Jose Age: 3.7 years old/M Diagnosis: Autism Spectrum Disorder Date: November 23, 2018 OT Intern in-charge: Abby Victoria Concepcion (AUF OT Intern 2018-2019) CS In-charge: Anna Louisa Y. Tiu, OTRP I.
Occupational Therapy Diagnosis and Assessment 1. Difficulty in writing due to problems in work behavior specifically impulse control and attention and concentration, problems in fine motor skills specifically improper tool grasp and problems in sensory specifically vestibular, proprioceptive, and tactile seeking behavior secondary to Autism Spectrum Disorder.
2. Difficulty in social interaction, specifically maintaining eye contact due to problems in work behaviors specifically impulse control and attention and concentration, and problems in sensory regulation specifically vestibular and proprioceptive seeking behavior secondary to Autism Spectrum Disorder.
II.
Intervention Plan Frame of Reference:
Behavioral FOR will be used to address the client’s maladaptive behaviors that hinder him when performing activities. BMTs such as positive social reinforcements will be given when good behavior is shown as this would increase its likelihood of occurrence. Prompts and cues can be given to address inattention and impulsiveness.
The principles of sensory integration FOR will be used as the child shows sensory seeking behaviors. By providing activities that have high sensory input this would enable him to functionally engage in activities during table top activities.
Problem 1: Difficulty in writing due to problems in work behavior specifically impulse control and attention and concentration, problems in fine motor skills specifically improper tool grasp and problems in sensory regulation specifically vestibular and tactile seeking behavior, and difficulty with auditory attention secondary to Autism Spectrum Disorder.

TUA: Preparatory: Provide activities that will help regulate his sensory seeking behaviors specifically vestibular , proprioceptive and tactile seeking in preparation for table top activities such as: Linear movement on vestibular swing Jump on trampoline 10x Wheel barrel position when completing form boards modified sit-ups when getting form board pcs Provide different textured toys Occupational Therapy Plan of Action Herb San Jose 2

Provide activities that target coordination (Asymmetrical) and isolation of finger movements such as: Tightening of nuts and bolts Spooling of beads Purposeful/Occupation based:
Tracing of shapes with thick lines using a broad highlighter eventually transitioning into thin broken lines with a fine-tip marker.
Tracing of first name in uppercase letters using highlighted thick lines eventually transitioning into thin broken lines

TUA: Preparatory Activities:
Opening song – “Where is teacher?” to promote participation to activities.
Provide activities that will help regulate his sensory seeking behaviors specifically vestibular and proprioceptive seeking in preparation for him to engage in social participation such as: Asking which preparatory activity he wants to do first Linear movement on vestibular swing Jump on trampoline 10x Going up and down the slide Provide activities that are structured, repetitive, and has at maximum 2 step instructions that targets his work behaviors such as: Have him complete a form board. As the therapist will ask him “What do you want?”. He should respond with “Give me __” and make eye contact with palm up gesture before giving it to him. Incorporate obstacle course (jumping on trampoline, slide) with completion of 4-piece puzzle. Therapist will ask him “What do you want?”. He should be able to respond with “Give me __” and make eye contact and palm up gesture before giving it to him. The therapist may also ask what the child would like to do with his free time and/or indicate his needs such as to use the toilet, to drink water, to play with another toy or with another child.

Using of language facilitating techniques can be used such as obstacles for the child to verbalize the correct answer or his wants and needs during the activity. Therapist can also use filling in for the child to communicate and have joint attention when communicating during activities such as “ It’s time to pack ____ (away)”, “we are ___ (finish)”. Also, using gestures when cueing the child can facilitate him to talk during activities other than verbal cueing.
III.
RECOMMENDATIONS
For the family, encourage the child to make eye contact and use gestures when indicating his wants and needs during ADLs (ex: when he is eating and asking for his food, when he needs to use the toilet, when he is gathering his bathing materials, when he wants to dress up wearing specific clothes he prefers to wear for the day) and Play (ex: when he is playing with another child or relative, when he wants to request for a toy that is out of reach). Practice writing at home and establish hand preference but not force the child to write as this would hinder him from freely wanting to hold the pencil with preferred hand. Techniques/ knowledge learned during session should be incorporated into his routine at home for him to generalize the skills being taught.
