Pediatric Conditions ( DIABETES) Assignment Directions

Diabetes

Purpose: The purpose for this assignment is to gain an understanding of a specific pediatric condition and to develop an occupational based intervention plan. See format below.

______________________________________________________________________________

Introduction to pediatric condition (diabetes) – causes, medical precautions, prognosis

Implications for occupational therapy- based on this condition

Self created case study and Intervention plan

Create a 2-3 sentence scenario about a child and the child’s family with this condition. Include the child’s age and limitations specifying the child’s functional occupational performance strengths and challenges. Using bullet points identify 2 goals specific based onidentified functional performance challenges.

For example, a 5-year-old child with spastic cerebral palsy exhibits difficulty grasping a spoon.

Goal: Child will grasp an adapted spoon for self feeding for 2-3 scoops per meal with minimal assist.

Intervention Plan:

Warm up- sensory motor activity decreasing spasticity overall- slow rolling on ball or swing

Therapeutic activity 1- activity to increase PROM & AROM on upper extremity prepare for use- over ball reach & grasp with rotation

Therapeutic activity 2- activity to prepare erect sitting for functional activity- straddle therapy roll complete puzzle with grasp & rotation

Functional Goal- Use of adapted spoon to feed self apple sauce while seated in an adapted chair providing all support

Summary of the pediatric condition and critical reasoning- why selected your goals and your activities for this scenario
