Occupational Profile (American Occupational Therapy Association, 2021) | Supports engagement: exploring environments, expressing emotions, showing preferences, making choices, and following transitions with adult support Inhibits engagement: difficulty initiating and performing activities of daily living, following and maintaining sleep routines, sustaining peer interactions Client’s priorities: Jacob’s priorities are to feel more comfortable playing with other children and to dress without his grandmother’s assistance. |
Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (Owens et al., 2000) | Strengths: unafraid of the dark, unafraid of sleeping alone, no presence of parasomnias (e.g., grinding teeth, sleep walking, or night terrors) Barriers to occupational performance and participation: amount of time to fall asleep, amount of sleep per night, restless sleep, and tired upon awakening |
Sleep record completed by father for 7 consecutive days | Results: >90 min time to sleep 5 of 7 days. 60–75 min time to sleep 2 of 7 days. Sleep duration 4–5 consecutive hours of sleep 7 of 7 days. |
Waisman Activities of Daily Living Scale (Maenner et al., 2013) | Strengths: independent with toileting, eating, drinking, bathing, putting away toys, preparing a cold snack, and clearing table after dinner Barriers to occupational performance and participation: inconsistent and below-age expectations for performance with brushing teeth and hair, dressing, and nose blowing because of limited motor and process skills |
Test of Playfulness (Skard & Bundy, 2008) | Strengths: appears to feel safe during play and is beginning to incorporate people into play. Two incidences of peer social engagement (responded to peer’s question) after parent prompt; one incident of cooperative play on playground equipment with parent directive and ongoing support Barriers to occupational performance and participation: limited communication and interaction skills for cooperative play, responding to other’s facial or body cues, and engaging in challenges.
