1:3 Explain how multiple conditions and/or disabilities may impact on individuals opportunity to participate in a range of activities.…
Sensory integration therapy improves the daily function of autistic children with sensory processing disorders. For most parents, the goal of rearing a child is for them to become self-sufficient. This goal is even harder to attain when the child is dealing with sensory processing disorder. In an article by Alison Wheeland, she writes about a child that is in occupational therapy because of the difficulties he faces during bathing, dressing, eating and participating in social interactions with his family (Wheeland, 2013). Sensory integration therapy has been shown to enhance the daily function for autistic children. With lesson plans that are disguised as play patients are able to overcome agitation to their daily routine. Wheeland highlights…
In the other hand there is also positive impact of this disability because help is always at hand, aids and benefits are available to support you and some opportunities to have a better outlook in life is be presented.…
Conditions and/or disabilities could include factors relating to conditions such as Sensory loss. Physical health, Mental health, Emotional health are also three factors that could have an impact on an individual’s ability to negotiate environments, also individuals with a Physical disability and/or Learning difficulty/disability could also find this hard. A couple of examples of such conditions would be, somebody who is deaf would find it hard with their sensory lose to negotiate new environments but also somebody with a more physical disability such as cerebral palsy would find this extremely hard as well as finding even familiar environments challenging on times.…
A child in a wheelchair or with a serious physical impairment would find it hard to do many activities, particularity those that are physically demanding. Gross motor skills would be at a less developed rate than peers and fine motor skills may be affected if the child had little or no control over their limbs. This affects their ability to take part in many…
Multiple conditions and disabilities can affect an individuals wellbeing emotionally and physically. They may require extra support and encouragement with any activities they undertake, as well as empathy, support and encouragement with any emotional needs they may have. Looking at multiple and/or disabilities there could be certain additional problems that could or can impact on the individuals quality of life and wellbeing. Some problems such as physical health, mental health, sensory loss, physical disability, learning disability or difficulties and emotional health. Just one of the six factors can make things very difficult for an individual, mixing with people or wanting to be on their own, activities could also be a problem. Sensory loss is a disability that can have a huge impact in their quality of life and wellbeing, damage to large sensory fibres can lessen the abilities to feel touch and vibrations, resulting in a sense of numbness, especially in the hands and feet. Individuals may experience the feeling of wearing gloves or stockings when they are not wearing them. Many presidents cannot recognise by touch alone, the shapes of small objects or distinguish between different shapes, this damage to sensory fibres may contribute to the loss of reflexes and motor nerve damage. Loss of position sense often make people unable to co-ordinate complex movements such as walking or fastening buttons, or to maintain balance when their eyes are closed. This could be why they do not wish to take part in anything, especially activities, because they have become embarrassed about…
3: Service provision to individuals with sensory loss can be greatly improved by adapting and modeifying surroundings to suit an individual’s needs; this will help to live independently and keep individuals as safe possible. Surroundings should be kept familiar, tidy and routes clear from obstruction.…
Gross motor skills would be at a less developed rate than peers and fine motor skills may be affected if the child had little or no control over their limbs. Although a disability can affect a child development there should always support and opportunities for children to be able to learn and develop , for example a child should have one to one support or a key worker where that person is allocated to that child to help them gain and learn the same as their…
Service users that have sensory deprivation may not be able to communicate as effectively, for example deafness is a barrier to talking to that person, sign language can be used.…
There are various different models of disability but the ones I am going to be focusing on are medical and social. The difference between these two models of disability is that the medical one is where the individual is disabled for example they may have to use a wheel chair. The social model is the view of people in the society on people’s disabilities and how they approach this.…
There are many factors in which can impact an individual with sensory loss, these factors may have an impact on an individuals lifestyle and well-being. Environmental factors, lifestyle, society, visual aids, effective communication, quality advice and guidance can all impact an individual with sensory loss. When a person acquires sensory loss this can have a big impact on their lifestyle and everyday living skills, changes may occur in which an individual may not feel comfortable or familiar with. These changes can have an impact on a persons general well being, they may loose confidence, they may feel isolated and lost this can impact on an individuals personal life and their ability to build relationships with others. As a child we learn to talk by listening and copying others around us, if a child is born deaf this can effect an individuals ability to communicate with others, as we depend so much on verbal communication this can have a big impact on an individuals communication skills. When a person is blind or short sighted, this can prevent a person from being able to see facial gestures or body language making it difficult to communicate. Being blind can cause other risks such as the inability to read important messages and signs, an individual may not see medication instructions and take too many, they may not see important signs such as wet floor signs, hot water, temporary road signs etc. Everyday tasks that we all take for granted will be impacted when a person acquires or has congenital sensory loss. Mobility may be affected when a person has a sensory loss, especially when a person aquires a sensory loss, I personally can not imagine what it must be like to walk with out being able to see where I am going, we rely on being able to see other objects in order to move around safely, if an individual suddenly acquires blindness initially it must be…
The first step in supporting people with a sensory impairment appropriately is to identify them. Local authorities should put in place a process to understand the prevalence of sensory loss in their populations to inform commissioning and market shaping functions. They should also have in place systems to record the number of people known to them. In identifying people with sensory impairment it is important to have in mind that: • There is a high prevalence of sensory loss amongst older people.…
Dr. James Naismith attended McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada to graduate as a medical doctor, primarily interested in sports physiology (sports science), and a presbyterian minister (George Laughead n.p.). Dr. Naismith started developing the idea for the game of basketball during his schooldays when he would play a game called duck-on-a-rock outside his one-room schoolhouse. The game consisted of attempting to knock the “duck” off the top of a big rock by tossing another smaller rock at it.…
I get very cautious of my body and I’m limited in my ability to do some sports. With the hearing it restricts me socialising because people get frustrated when I ask them to repeat things they say.” She is a very strong character and it makes me wonder does knowing this, knowing how much actual pain she suffers from change your view to how you would react to hearing her having a disability or would you still have to be able to see…
Introduction Barriers are experienced by people with a disability in everyday situations, these barriers can be functional, social and emotional. Physical barriers are often seen as the most obvious barriers however International Classification of Functioning (ICF) by the World Health Organisation refers to the factors that produce further barriers for people with disabilities. Three different physical barriers that may be experienced by a person with a physical disability will be discussed and how these go to create barriers in a personal context. ICF In more recent times a broader and more modern view of health and disability has been expressed by society and organisations, such as the World Health Organisation through acknowledgement that every human being could potentially experience a degree of disability in their life through a change in health or environment.…
