Evaluation of Praxis in Preschoolers.
Parham, L. Diane
Occupational Therapy in Health Care, v4 n2 p23-36 Sum 1987
A rationale and procedures are presented for occupational therapy evaluation of the preschooler whose problems suggest dyspraxia. Two evaluative domains are examined: sensory processing (assessment of tactile, proprioceptive, vestibular, auditory and visual functions) and praxis (ideation, motor planning and execution). Procedures include standardized test items, parent interviews, and behavior observation. (Author/KM)
