Early Co-Regulation in Infants and Young Children

---

1.  Indicators of Poor Regulation may include (but are not limited to): Increased appetite and food hoarding Poor sleep and poor body awareness Hypersomnia and narcolepsy Hypervigilance and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

2.  One source of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs): The personal experience of abuse, neglect, or trauma Prematurity and low birth weight Intrauterine exposures Emergency C-section

3.  A 2015 study by Whitcomb et al., investigating the relationship between attachment and sensory modulation, showed that young children ____________________. With ADHD were less likely to participate in sensory integration programs than their peers on the autism spectrum With extremely low gestation age continued to have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep at age 2 as their full-term peers Who initially have atypical responses to sensory information may have difficulty forming a healthy attachment to their primary caregivers With autism had more challenges with food introductions and eating a healthy diet

4.  A study by Ben-Sasson et al., (2013), showed that what type of sensory behavior (in children with ASD) was predictive of parenting stress and family life impairment above and beyond the symptoms of autism alone? Low registration Sensory over-responsiveness Tactile discrimination Sensory processing

5.  Unilateral styles of interaction are represented by: A shared mutual focus with actions and emotions that are simultaneous or sequential Shared attention is present, but one partner innovates the theme, while the other observes One partner attempts to keep a mutual focus while the other is developing their own new theme or topic No shared attention, not involved or interacting though opportunity is present

6.  Infants with Extremely Low Gestational Age were shown to have predominantly what quality of co-regulation during spontaneous play interaction in at 12 months of age (according to Sansavini et al., 2015)? Unilateral-demanding Asymmetrical Disruptive Unengaged

7.  Assessing both parent and child's sensory preferences provides: The parent with a diagnosis of sensory processing disorder The child with a diagnosis of sensory processing disorder Demonstrate a family history of genetically inherited disorders Insight into a mismatch in the sensory needs of the parent and child

8.  Smith Roley et al., (2016) identified what four types of dysregulation in infants and young children? Hungry Baby, Tired Baby, Colicky Baby, Active Baby Too Cool Baby, Too Warm Baby, Just-Right Baby, Mixed Baby Fussy Baby, Sleepy Baby, Clumsy Baby, Disorganized Baby Awake Baby, Asleep Baby, Active Baby, Passive Baby

9.  The purpose of Stop Signs (Smith Roley et al., 2016) are to: Ensure the caregiver is providing a consistent sleep schedule Highlight the need to remove stimulation and move toward calming Teach the child to follow a motor command Allow the child time to digest and/or eliminate

10.  The 'homeodynamic corridor' (Whitcomb et al., 2015) describes: The interplay of the child, the caregiver, the dyad, and the environment The balance of good and bad bacteria in the child's gut The place a child can fully express themselves and their sensory needs The developmental pathway from co-regulation to self-regulation
