Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

1.4K
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Learning Disabilities

660
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

1.1K
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

606
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Summary

This review synthesized worldwide interventions for developmental coordination disorder (DCD) in children. Future studies require clearer DCD criteria and focus on daily life skills, psychosocial impacts, and parental support for better outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) affects motor skills in children.
  • Interventions for DCD vary globally.
  • A comprehensive synthesis of these interventions is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify, qualify, and synthesize characteristics of interventions for children with DCD.
  • To analyze intervention types, contexts, interventionists, and outcomes.
  • To align findings with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework.

Main Methods:

  • Scoping review methodology.
  • Searches across eight bibliographical databases without language restrictions.
  • Content analysis of included studies focusing on intervention details and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • 202 studies identified, detailing 206 interventions for 4593 children.
  • Task-oriented, motor skill, and sports training were common approaches.
  • Active video games and sensory-perceptual training were frequently reported.
  • Children's diagnostic criteria were often poorly defined.
  • Long-term psychosocial and participation outcomes were under-explored.

Conclusions:

  • Future studies need precise DCD diagnostic criteria and intervention details (e.g., trainer, type, intensity, mode).
  • Outcome measures should encompass motor skill application in daily life.
  • Environmental/psychosocial impacts and parental support are critical domains for assessment.
