Back 9

Perceptual motor problems, motor coordination problems, other movement related problems.

Front 10

What is Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)?

Back 10

Performance in daily activities that require motor coordination are substantially low.

Front 11

What are the marked milestones delays in achieving motor milestones?

Back 11

Walking, crawling, dropping things, clumsiness (ataxia), poor sport performance, poor handwriting.

Front 12

What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?

Back 13

comorbidity

Front 14

what is comorbidity?

Back 14

overlap or coexistance of disorders

Front 15

What are some Specific Problems Applicable to LD and DCD?

Back 15

Imature body image and agnosias, poor spatial orientation, overflow movements, dissociation, motor planning and sequencing, Temporal organization, rhythm and force.

Front 16

Go into more detial about Immature Body Image and Agnosias.

Back 16

Finger agnosias (loss of ability to recognize fingers). Inability to indentify body parts, unable to translate knowledge of right and left into following directions, perceptual problems.

Front 17

Go intp more detail about Poor Orientation.

Back 17

““lost spacelost in space””.Typically lose their way when going places, Bump into things and misjudging space requirements

Front 18

Describe overflow movements.

Back 18

Inability to keep one arm motionless when doing one armed task.

Front 19

Describe Dissociation

Back 19

problems with organizing parts into a whole. typically devlops at age 6. age 9 is typical for LD/DCD. Whole methodology.

Front 20

Describe Motor Planing and Sequencing

Back 20

Executive functions that include thought and action in relation to: Intiaiting movement, terminating movement, putting parts together in the right order, AKA Apraxia or Dyspraxia.

Front 21

Describe Temporal Organization, Rhythm and Force.

Back 21

Can organiz parts into a whole but timing is off or applied force is not perceived well.

Front 22

What are some Specific Problems Applicable to ADHD?

Back 22

Inattention, Impulsivity, hyperactivity

Front 23

What are some exmaples of inattention?

Back 23

selective attention, concentration, narrow focusing, broad focusing

Front 24

What is Impulsivity?

Back 24

Tendency to move without carefully considering alternative and opposite of reflectivity.

Front 25

What is Hyperactivity?

Back 25

cannot sit still long enough to complete a task.

Front 26

What are some instructional strategies for people with ADHD?

Back 26

Metacognition, modality based instruction, cognitive style matching, self-talk and verbal rehearsals, motivation and self-concept enhancement

Front 27

What is Metacognition?

Back 27

Personal knowledge about the way we think, move and learn. use os visualization, self-talk, spontaneous rehearsal, etc.

Front 28

What is modility based instruction?

Back 28

People learn in different ways, verbal/nonverbal, both.

Front 29

What is Cognitive Style Matching?

Back 29

ability to analyze and respond to stimuli. When learners style match that of teachers, there is no problem.

Front 30

What are some other behavior problems?

Back 30

Social perception inadequacies, perseveration

Front 31

What is Social Perception Inadequacies?

Back 31

inability to recognize meaning and significance of others behavior.

Front 32

What is Perseveration?

Back 32

Inability to shift easily from one idea or activity to another. continues to act when action should cease.

Front 33

What are some Principles for Management of LD/ADHD/DCD?

Back 33

Structure, space reduction, remove extraneous stimuli, modify the content, equipment, etc.
