| Abstract [eng] |
The aim of the research was to examine the need for occupational therapy in the infant foster home. The study was conducted in December 2009 – March 2010 in Kaunas Child’s Development Clinic „Lopšelis“. Self-dependence and fine motor function evaluation were made according to DISC (Diagnostic Inventory for Screening Children). Sensory integration disorders were valuated by the questionnaire of evaluation of sensory integration filled in by the teachers (for children from birth to 2 years) which helped the teachers to evaluate the babies growing in the foster home. Evaluating fine motor skills we estimated that 22 children (57.9%) were of normal development, 13 children (34.2%) had development retardation and 3 children (7.9%) had development diffi culties. Evaluating the self-dependence of the children growing in the infant foster home, we determined that 25 children (65.8%) were of normal development, 12 children (31.6%) had development retardation and 1 child (2.6%) had development diffi culties. Both child‘s self-dependence and fine motor skills depend on the age (varies with the growth of a child). To assess the influence of the changes in living conditions on child’s development regardless of age, we created a new character – children’s part time (in percent) spent in infant foster homes. The results of the research revealed that the longer a child lives in a foster home, the more their self-dependence and fi ne motor skills weaken. The results of the questionnaire for assessment of sensory integration disorders were analyzed and total score of 9 areas was counted. It varied from 55 to 95 points, the average of the total score was 76.2 points. The correlation coeffi cient between sensory integration disorder (total score) and the time children spent in the infant foster home was r = 0.35, p = 0.08. [...]. |
