An eight-year-old child has an acquired brain injury three weeks ago and is an inpatient and a Children’s Hospital. The child has a tracheotomy, is on medication to stabilize seizure activity, and is functioning at level two (generalized response) on the Rancho amigo scale. At least one member of the child’s family spends each day and most nights at the hospital with the child. What type of controlled sensory stimulation can the OT teach the family to benefit the child at this stage of the rehab process? Change the child’s position from supine to supported sitting intermittently throughout the day Rub the child’s extremities with lotion while providing verbal cues about position and body awareness Pass a cotton ball saturated with ammonia or artificial vanilla under the child’s nose for 2 to 5 seconds 3 to 5 times per day Ask the child to clap hands or move their arms and legs to the rhythm of a favorite song several times per day
