Early Intervention

u Early intervention services are well established and mandated throughout the United States, (IDEA Part C).

u The evidence that these services make a difference in developmental or educational outcomes for infants with neuromotor dysfunction, however, is variable and limited (Spittle et al, 2007; Spittle & Treyvaud, 2016).

Theoretical Premises of Early Intervention

u Plasticity of the brain in early life exists so need to intervene as soon as possible to limit the impact of delays

Theoretical Premises of Early Intervention

u Early experiences can have a long lasting effect on outcomes u School performance for children with low

socio-economic status (Barnett, 1995)

u Psychosocial skills of human infants (Cirulliet al, 2003)

u Motor and sensory skills (Kolb et al, 2004; Martin et al, 2007).

u Video from reggie

What we know about successful movement therapy for infants with or at risk for CP

u Systematic review of studies 1980-2015– (Morgan et al. 2016)u Effectiveness of motor interventions for children 0-2 years with

a dx of CP or high risk for CP

u Team reviewed 34 studies

u Moderate rigor studies: n=402u Duration of intervention: 6 weeks -12 months

u Intensity of intervention: 6 days/week for 6 weeks – monthly for 12 months

u Low rigor studies: n= 154u Most common intervention was NDT, but described in

various ways

What we know about successful movement therapy for infants with or at risk for CP

u Bottom line - weak evidence

u Possible successful ingredients of therapy : u Child-initiated movement (motor learning

principles)

u Environmental modification/enrichment (parental education)

u Task-specific training (motor learning principles)

u Need more research

What we know about successful movement therapy for children with CP

u Novak et al., 2017

u Reviewed 6 systematic reviews & 2 evidence-based clinical guidelines

u Diagnosisu Early detection (before 6 months) should occur

u After diagnosis of CP or high risk for CP, determination

of unilateral vs. bilateral

What we know about successful movement therapy for children with CP (Novak et al., 2017)

u Hemiplegic CPu CIMT– Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy - better hand function

(Eliasson & Holmefur, 2015

u Bilateral CPu Surveillance & intervention - lower rates of hip displacement,

contracture, scoliosis

What we know about successful movement therapy for children with CP (Novak et al., 2017)

u All children with CPu GAME – Goals-Activity-Motor Enrichment -

better motor & cognitive skills (Morgan et al. 2015)

uEarly, intense, enriched environment, task specific, training based home intervention

u Learning Games Curriculum (Palmer et al, 1988)

u Home based better then clinic based

u Parent Education

Intervention to improve motor and cognitive outcomesu Key ingredients: early, parent-infant interaction,

goal-oriented, active & task specific, environmentally appropriate

u Although early interventionists value early motor skills as goals, they focus often solely on motor milestones (Palisano,1991) without association to the cognitive implications of the movement (Mahoney &

Robinson, 2004).

u How do we remove our motor behavior blinders to provide intervention for long term improvement of educationally relevant outcomes?

Define cognition

Discuss some relationships between motor behaviors & cognition

Define & discuss examples of cognitive constructs that are important for early

learning & impact our interventions

What is Cognition?

uProcess of acquiring knowledge & understanding through thought, experience, & the senses

uMotor, language, social, and traditionally-labeled cognitive learning & performance all fall under the umbrella of “Cognition”

Google Dictionary; Lobo et al., 2013; Thelen, 2000

9/13/18

4

What Does That Really Mean?

uLearning to control your body, to interact with objects, to interact with people are all cognitive tasks

Lobo et al., 2013; Smith & Gasser, 2005; Thelen, 2000

Discuss some relationships between motor behaviors & cognition

Cognitive Ability &

Experience

Motor Ability &

Experience

Motor Experience Can Impact Cognitionu Head Control

u Head lifting prone & holding head midline in supine relates to Bayley III cognitive & language scores (as well as motor scores) birth-24 months

u Reaching

u Impacts understanding of cause-effect relations, how to interact with objects, interest in objects, understanding of others’ intentions to reach for objects

u Object Manipulation & Interaction

u Impacts knowledge of object segregation, color, weight, density, & cause-effect relations

Babik, in review; Lobo, 2008; Needham, 1998, 2011

Motor Experience Can Impact Cognitionu Sitting

u Increases looking at objects you are manually exploring

u Improves 3D object completion ability (knowing what to expect from parts of objects that cannot be seen)

u Locomotor experience

u Advances cognition for children with spina bifida or typical development – ability to represent space, to search in space, wariness of heights, gestural communication, distance perception, & social-emotional development

Campos et al., 2000, 2009; Needham & Libertus, 2011; Soska, 2010

Cognition May Also Impact Motor Performance

u Infants with more experience exploring objects learn to better match their behaviors to the properties of objects (e.g. shaking a rattle versus feeling a plush toy)

u Understanding of how things fit in openings impacts whether infants will attempt to reach through openings

u Infants with walking experience may better understand what their bodies can do and risk of falling

u More time exploring drop offs and slopes before navigating them

u May utilize alternative methods for navigation of steeper slopes or unstable surfaces (waterbed), such as scooting or crawling

Adolph, 1993; Ishak et al., 2013; Lobo, 2015

Cognitive constructs important for early learning & that may impact our

interventions

9/13/18

5

Affect

uEmotion or desire, especially as influencing behavior

uPositive/Neutral affect – allows for attention to task & integration of information related to the task to facilitate learning

uNegative affect - keeps attention intrinsically on self & away from goal & negatively impacts motivation and learning

Google Dictionary; Shang et al., 2013

Attention

u Regarding of someone or something as interesting or important; the mental faculty of considering or taking notice of someone or something

u Better performance with external focus of attention on intended effect of action (e.g. hitting target, effect of tool use) versus internal focus on body movements/form

u Better performance with more distal than proximal focus of attention (e.g. on target object rather than tool, on flag at hole rather than on golf ball hitting)

u Able to focus more attention to cognitive tasks when the motor demand is less

u Greater perseveration (poorer success) in A not B locomotor task when walking on stairs versus walking on flat ground

Berger, 2004; Google Dictionary; Lewthwaite & Wulf, 2017

Motivationu Reason(s) one has for acting in a particular way; general desire or willingness

of someone to do something

u Perseverance: steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success; important component of motivation

u Can affect motor performance

u Extrinsic motivation – improved grip strength when offered monetary incentive

u Intrinsic motivation: infants with higher motivation (persistence, activity level) had earlier onset of sitting, pull to stand, crawling, and cruising and had higher percentile scores on AIMS

Atun-Einy et al., 2013; Google Dictionary; Meadows et al., 2016

Mastery Motivationu Just-right challenge matched to abilities so not too little (boredom and lack of

engagement) & not to be too great a challenge (frustration and lack of engagement)

u Need to educate parents on how to provide just-right opportunities

u Toddlers with motor delay did not show differences in persistence or pleasure when provided appropriately challenging tasks but parents rated them with motivation levels than did parents of TD toddlers

u Mothers of toddlers with motor delays provided less interactive behaviors to foster cognitive development than moms of toddlers with TD

u Expectations of parents impact opportunities provided and developmental timeline

u Parents in Jamaica expected their infants to sit and walk at earlier ages than did English parents and their expectations were fulfilled

Hopkins & Westra, 1989; Wang et al., 2013, 2014

Memory

u Faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information

u Enhanced expectancies result in better performance

u E.g. more success in golf task if first provided large hole versus small one for practice & therefore more success in practice

u Infants at risk may have impaired memory for solutions they have learned

Haley et al., 2008; Heathcock et al., 2004; Google Dictionary; Lewthwaite & Wulf, 2017; Rovee, 1969

Cognitive Constructs and Action

uMeans – End

uObject Permanence

uObject/Body Affordances

uJoint Attention

MEANS-END

uActing on one object so that something happens on another object

uEarly cause-and-effect type of learning

uRelated to tool use

uRelationship of body posture, reaching, grasping, adapting body to object, visual regard, focused attention

Means-End change over time Predictive expectation

u Infants very early (prior to 6 months) learn patterns of eventsu Hear a sound, see the object that makes that

soundu See a moving object go behind something, expect

it to come out on the same trajectoryu The relationships of events with sensorimotor

activity (active movement) build a brain – creates synapses of related brain areas – “what fires together wires together”

OBJECT PERMANENCE

uThe understanding that objects continue to exist even when they can’t be seen (felt, smelled, heard…)

uRelated to independent mobility

uAlso related to visual pursuit, memory, sitting and reaching, manipulation of objects

uTied to understanding spatial concepts (under, in, behind)

Object permanence change over time

9/13/18

7

OBJECT AFFORDANCES

uThe relationship between an organism and an object that allows an action to be performed

uRequires maneuvering body segments around, between, over, under objects

uRelates properties of objects (squishy, texture, weight, shape) to what can be done with the object

JOINT ATTENTION

uCoordination of attention with a social partner to some third object or event

uImportant precursor to language

uRequires looking back and forth quickly, following the gaze of another person, orienting of the body to the interesting object

EXAMPLES OF COGNITIVE CONSTRUCTS WITH VARYING MOTOR DIFFICULTIES

COGNITION-ACTION TRADE OFF

uEffortful physical tasks can impose a cognitive load

uEfforts to accomplish a cognitive task may require reduction of physical effort

uAttention is a limited resource which must be allocated appropriately depending on the function, task, and environmental support

Take home messages:Interventions should be designed around a targeted goal that bridges domains of development. START-Play strives to advance problem-solving through movement and exploration.

START-Play Key ingredients are based on current evidence: early, parent-infant interaction, goal-oriented, active & task specific, environmentally appropriate

Take home messagesWhat can you do tomorrow?•Identify the problem-solving skills of one child on your case load•Come up with 3 ways you can set up play to practice a slightly harder problem solving skill making it easy (what they can already do) / mod / hard.•Think about 3 levels of motor challenge (easy/mod/hard) for that child•Set up practice for this child to try the problem solving and motor skills at the same time by varying the levels•Give the child time to respond – i.e. do not help too fast; allow variability and errors

Take home messages

- Can best foster learning during play by:• choosing tasks that provide the just-right level of

challenge in motor and cognitive areas together• are motivating, by encouraging exploration with

attention to the end goal (may use cues to elicit joint attention for this)

• working at times of positive or neutral affect, and• providing repeated opportunities for infants to

problem-solve in order to advance learning
