Four of the six students in the early childhood play group at your school receive OT for sensory processing disorders. How could you service these children as a group?
  1. Have them all find small toys in the ball pit because it is large enough to accommodate all four students.
  2. Schedule one therapy session with all four students together and have them rotate through sensory stations.
  3. Ask one paraprofessional to work with each child as you direct the sensory activities for all four children.
  4. Arrange for a sensory group time with the early childhood teacher. Provide sensory interventions during the group time that meet the needs of your OT students.
Explanation
Answer: D. To service children of this age as a group, you could arrange for a sensory group time with the early childhood teacher for the entire class. Include sensory interventions that meet your students’ needs as a part of the group. This method of delivery allows all the children in the class to be included and lets the children with sensory processing needs model their actions from the children who have normal sensory processing. It also provides for more adults to help supervise the activities, so you can focus on your OT students within the group setting.
