When you complete the question about functions in Appendices 2.1, 2.2, and 2.

3, please
refer to functional issues or participation issues, or reasons for referral. For example, if we
list oculomotor control or maintaining a stable visual field, identify problems that the child
may present in the real world, such as copying from the board or crossing the street. Think
about how what we are learning relates to the problems for which the children are referred
to therapy.

Registration • Awareness of being touched Function
– Observe changes in arousal
level after touch
• Detection/registration of
sensory input – Observe
signs of localization

touch
• Tolerance to non-expected
tactile input – observe when
touched from the back
• Tolerance to self-initiated
input – might tolerate Assessment
• Body areas on which tactile
input is tolerated and type of
input being tolerated – face

• Observations of behavior in
relationship to presenting
