Notas del editor

  1. Presenters Goals: Complexity of CP in the disability and treatment Giving people a good overview of what CP is and is like Focus on educational pathways, interventions and strategies
  2. Cerebral (Latin: Cerebrum) Affect part of brain Palsy (Para: beyond; lysis: loosening) Lack of muscle control A heterogenous group of movement disorders an umbrella term not a single diagnosis
  3. Can be congenital (before, during birth) or acquired (28 days after birth) Insult / Injury to the brain Fixed, static lesions In single or multiple areas of the motor centers of the brain Early in central nervous system development Development malformations Brain fails to develop correctly Neurological damage Can occur before, during or after delivery → Causal Pathway Illness, severe lack of oxygen or blood flow to the brain, stroke Infection Placenta or blood of mother
  4. Every CP person is unique. CP persons might need help in one or more areas such as cognitive, functionality, mobility, fitness, emotional, psychological, speech, social, sensory and independence.
  5. Interview History taking May include all that may predispose an infant to brain damage or CP Risk factors Psychosocial factors Family adaptation Child’s health history Often admitted to hospitals for corrective surgeries and other complications Respiratory status Motor function Presence of fever Feeding and weight loss Any changes in physical state Medical regimen No treatment to cure cerebral palsy Brain damage cannot be corrected Crucial that there is: Early identification Multidisciplinary care Support General management Proper nutrition and personal care Pharmacologic Botox, Intrathecal, Baclofen Control muscle spasms and seizures Glycopyrrolate Control drooling Pamidronate May help with osteoporosis Surgery Loosen joints Relieve muscle tightness Straightening of different twists or unusual curvatures of leg muscles Improve the ability to sit, stand and walk Physical adis Orthosis, braces, splints Positioning devices Walkers, special scooters, wheelchairs Special education Rehabilitative services Speech and occupational therapies Family services Professional support Neuroimaging: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Computer Tomography Scan EEG Laboratory Tests Blood tests, urine tests Assessment tools Peabody Development Motor SKills Denver Developmental ScreenTest II
  6. Spastic CP: Tight or stiff muscles Dyskinetic CP: Difficulty controlling and coordinating muscles Twisting and repetitive movements Chorea: Dance-like Irregular movements Athetosis: Slow and involuntary movements → present as rest and in attempts to move Ataxic: Depth perception and balance affected Intention tremor occurs when reaching for an object, and worsens as they go nearer to the object
  7. Quadriplegia (4) Both arms and limbs are affected (so are mouth, face and trunk) Triplegia (3) Three limbs are involved, usually affecting both arms and one leg Hemiplegia (2) One side of the body affects. The arm is usually more affected than the leg Monoplegia (1) Only one limb is involved, usually affecting an arm
  8. The children with cerebral palsy gained bladder and bowel control at older age in comparison with their siblings and healthy children. They also had more frequent enuresis and urinary infections.
  9. Hearing Visual Refractive errors Most prevalent visual impairments: Hyperopia (farsightedness) Myopia (nearsightedness) Astigmatism Strabismus Crossed eyes Amblyopia Lazy eye Brain purposely suppresses the weaker eye preventing the child from having blurred or double vision Cataracts Clouding of the lenses Cortical blindness Brain cannot interpret and process information correctly Intellectual & Functional Problems Eating, Sleeping Communication Digestive, Bladder and Bowel movement Pain → Contractures, Abnormal postures, Skin breakdown Seizures, Epilepsy → Partial seizures, Generalized seizures Intellectual impairment, Mental Retardation, Learning Disabilities Psychological/ Behavioural Emotionally unstable/ Problems Behavioural/ Conduct Problem Others Dental Problems Sensory Integratory Problems Pain: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23858420
  10. Mental retardation Brain functioning 35% will have normal intelligence Includes above average intelligence Learning difficulties Short attention span Motor planning difficulties Perceptual difficulties Language difficulties Literacy When it comes to literacy, children with cognitive impairments may not read like other children, but it doesn’t mean they are incapable of understanding what words mean. Different methods of learning eg. visual cues, technology and demonstration to aid learning
  11. Cerebral palsy often affects the language centers of the brain that control speech. In mild cases of cerebral palsy, a child may have difficulty using the correct words, but in more severe cases, a child’s ability to verbally express himself or herself might be seriously impeded. Under these circumstances, the speech and language pathologist will assist in finding ways in which the child can begin to communicate through ques (winking or lifting a finger), sign language, or with the assistance of augmentative communication devices (DynaVox or computers).
  12. Articulation Moderate to profound vocal communication disorders (70-80%). The muscles that control speech are often affected. Poor speech can complicate cognitive assessment. Dysarthrias Most common Difficulty controlling muscles to coordinate speech movement Hypernasal Hyponasla Speech may sound slow and slurred Voice Problems Spastic Palsy Harsh vocal quality, increased intensity, high pitch Athetoid Palsy Hoarse vocal quality, fluctuating intensity, variable pitch Ataxic Palsy Hoarse vocal quality, fluctuating intensity, and variable pitch Dysphagia Related to muscular speech mechanisms Due to muscles beginning spastic, athetosis, ataxic or flaccid People with cerebral palsy may cough, gag, or choke when eating.
  13. Challenging behaviour “behaviour of such intensity, frequency or duration that the physical safety of the person or others is likely to be placed in serious jeopardy, or behaviour which is likely to seriously limit or deny access to and use of ordinary community famiclities (Emerson et al 1988) Reasons: Biological causes, genetically linked, levels of arousal Learned May be a means of communication Sign of distress, anger, frustration, discomfort, pain May be response to environment: over/ under stimulation
  14. Asian Women’s Welfare Association School Spastic Children’s Association School now known as Cerebral Palsy Alliance of Singapore School of which we take an indepth look CPAS Early Intervention [Preschool: 0-6 years] Special Education → SPED [7-18 years] MOE Access to mainstream schools Approved Training Centres / Organisations Vocational training
  15. Teacher to student ratio: 1:6
  16. Delta Senior School / Association for Persons with Special Needs Metta Welfare Association CPAS: Goodwill, Rehabilitation and Occupational Workshop (GROW) Sheltered workshop Vocational training Assembly work Social enterprise initiatives Orange Garden Cafe Art and Craft Workshop Pushcarts We are still in the planning phase to help our clients with job placements. Our GROW workshop is our best example. Trainees get allowances and are sheltered and trained for projects such as Pilot Pen Project, Direct Funeral, Panasonic (Refrigerator & Aircon)
  17. Multiple assessments conducted by psychologists Placement is ultimately based on the student’s needs that can best be met. Regularly reassessing appropriateness of placement is necessary Decision will require a collaborative appraoch involving student, transdisciplinary team and the parents
