Observation Of Zingo Intervention

Decent Essays
An intervention I observed was when the OT and the client were playing Zingo. The OT and client were sitting on the mat prepping for the game. The OT positioned himself in a regular seating position then throughout the game would change positions (prone-on-elbows, side-lying, and the regular seated position) to encourage him to try the positions, which focused on the child using his neck and trunk extensors during play. Once the game was set up, they began to play. The objective of the game was to fill up your Zingo/Bingo card with the playing pieces. This game would require the child to take turns, communicate, use fine and gross movement patterns, self-regulation, supine sitting, rule following, postural strength/control, social skills/social

    In a study completed by Renee L. Watling and Jean Dietz (2007), the authors examined the effects of Ayres’ sensory integration-based occupational therapy interventions on children who have been diagnosed with ASD. This study used a single subject, ABAB design to compare the immediate effects of the interventions on the undesired behaviors that are present during task engagement, which in this case were tabletop activities. The tabletop activity was chosen, as it is congruent with educational situations that are encountered during occupational engagement (Watling and Dietz, 2007). The sample population included four children who have been diagnosed with ASD. Eligibility for this study included “no comorbid diagnoses, absence of seizures, no concurrent occupational therapy services, and no intention to add or change medications or therapy services during the course of the study” (Watling and Dietz, 2007).…

    Observation: Rise Program Physical Setting Rise is a beautiful facility. All of the windows looking into the classrooms and looking outside are my favorite because they provide light, openness, and a sense of connection throughout the whole building. The commons is also a great area. It is large and open for all of the kids to spread out and explore their surroundings, while engaging in gross motor activities, such as going down a slide, riding a tricycle, or jumping on a trampoline.…
