/.Thicker baby food puree (i.e. stage 2) - Answer-8 months (veggies and fruit)
/.Soft mashed table foods - Answer-9 months (avocado, bananas
/.Hard munchables - - Answer-9 months (blueberries and strawberries)
/.Meltable hard solids - Answer-- 9.5 months
/.Soft cubes - Answer-10 months (cut up pieces of fruit, cheese, meat
/.Soft mechanical (single texture) - Answer-- 11 months (cutting it up but less consistent
in size-not mixing textures)
/.Soft mechanical (mixed texture) - Answer-12 months (can start to mix food)
/.Soft table foods - Answer-- 13 to 14 months
/.Hard mechanicals - - Answer-15 to 18 months (eat a lot of normal food)
/.Top-Down Approach (Performance Based Approaches) - Answer-The OT begins the
evaluation process by gaining an understanding of the child's level of participation in
daily occupations and routines with family, other caregiving adults, and peers
/.Strength-Based Approach - Answer-- Begin interventions by considering the strengths
of the child
- Develop a plan to increase participation by building on a child's strengths
/.Ecological Assessment - Answer-- Evaluation of the child's natural environment
- Allows the OT to consider how the environment influences performance and to design
interventions that are easily implemented in the child's natural environment.
, *Uses a top-down approach
/.Family Centered Treatment - Answer-Keeping a family's needs, goals, routines, and
expectations at the forefront of intervention.
/.Family-centered services - Answer-family's right to make autonomous decisions about
the child is honored

explain, or predict phenomena
/.Frames of Reference - Answer-uses theoretical information to develop a theoretical
base that guides evaluation and application to practice.
/.Single FOR - Answer-use one FOR during treatment session
/.In sequence - Answer-assessment results indicate one FOR, but additional noted
deficits warrant use of another FOR for more discreet issue
/.Parallel - Answer-use of 2+ FOR simultaneously but in different sessions/intervention
process
/.In combination - Answer-2 FORs are used in an integrative fashion bc the constructs
of the theory base are similar.
/.Neurodevelopmental Theory (NDT): - Answer-Theory-- Inhibit or constrain abnormal
movement patterns; Analyze missing or atypical movement patterns
