Just like food nourishes the body, Ayres considered sensory input to be sensory nourishment for the _____

• Heart

• Soul

• Brain

• Mind

____ _____ are used to provide individualized sensory experiences to support optimal functioning of the child with sensory integration challenges

• sensory incentives

• sensory stimulations

• sensory programs

• sensory diets

Specific changes in neuron structure and function is best described as

• neuroplasticity

• neurotoxicity

• neuroevolution

• neuroretroaction

Which would be considered a category of Sensory Integrative Problems

• Sensory delegation problems

• Ventricular-bilateral problems

• Vestibular-biochemical problems

• Praxis problems

A child with good sensory modulation.......

• will likely under-respond to incoming sensory stimuli

• Will generate appropriately graded responses to incoming sensory stimuli

• will likely over-respond to incoming sensory stimuli

• Will demonstrate hypo or hyper responses to incoming sensory stimuli

A child with sensory processing disorder may have a hard time finding the back belt loops to lace a belt through, this is likely due to challenges with

• tactile defensiveness

• tactile hypersensitivities

• tactile degradation

• tactile discrimination

Which is NOT true.

Sensory integration ________

• 4. Gives meaning to sensory experiences by organizing what to focus on

• Allows us to act in a purposeful manner to situations we are experiencing

• Requires that adaptive responses be suppressed

• Develops a foundation for learning and behavior

Jean Ayres described praxis as the ability to.......

• conceptualize, plan and execute a purposeful act

• conceptualize, plan and execute a habitual act

• conceptualize, plan and execute a non-purposeful act

• conceptualize, plan and execute a nonhabitual act

An excessive emotional reaction to vestibular sensation can also be described as

• vestibular hypo-sensitivity

• postural weakness

• gravitational insecurity

• praxis paralysis

A child who reacts quickly to sensory input or doesn't require much of that input to overrespond may be considered to have:

• a under-responsive sensory system

• a hypo-responsive sensory system

• a high threshold for that type of sensor input

• a low threshold for that type of sensor input
