Parents

ampatrao — 2025-04-15 19:16:52 UTC

It's important for parents, especially mother's to learn about this program because it will help them understand what their baby is telling them before they can even speak through their body language, behaviors, and their facial expressions. It will make them more confident in caring for their child's need confidently and allows them to support their baby's development.

Occupational Therapists & Other Medical Professionals

It's important for OT's to learn about this program because it allows them with the knowledge of this topic and also gives them a resource to pass on to caregivers and parents when they're searching for a program such as this one. This also allows OT's to possibly catch early signs of delay by being familiar with typical baby cues as they occur developmentally.

Parents/Caregivers

ampatrao — 2025-04-15 19:18:34 UTC

This program is primarily geared towards parents and caregivers who are caring for an infant.

ampatrao — 2025-04-15 21:44:45 UTC

This program helps parents and caregivers recognize, interpret, and respond their their child's cues through their facial expressions, body movements, vocalizations, and their changes in state. This program teaches them that they are constantly communicating even when it doesn't seem like they are and it encourages parents to remain responsive and attentive to their children.

Why is it important?

ampatrao — 2025-04-15 21:49:04 UTC

BabyCues educates caregivers to notice when their child is ready and interested in participating in their daily occupations and also when they aren't. It also encourages bonding between the mother and infant through the quality of the interaction instead of the quantity providing a positive correspondence with the cue and the interaction following it.

Therapeutic Use of Occupations

ampatrao — 2025-04-15 21:51:32 UTC

Improved Understanding of Infant Communication

ampatrao — 2025-04-15 21:52:47 UTC

Individuals who chose this program will be able to accurately understand what their baby's cues mean. They will understand that what they may have seen as behavior was actually just communication all along.

Increased Relationship Between Mother/Caregiver and Infant

ampatrao — 2025-04-15 21:53:02 UTC

This program promotes secure relationships between the caregiver and their child.

ADL

ampatrao — 2025-04-15 21:57:26 UTC

Through teaching the caregivers what their child's cues mean, they have the ability to properly care for their infant in what they're asking for such as wanting to be fed, wanting to sleep and wanting to be changed, allowing them to do so in a timely manner.

Social Participation

ampatrao — 2025-04-15 21:57:33 UTC

This provides positive interactions between the caregiver and the infant and allows for social bonding.

Social Interaction: Performance Skills

ampatrao — 2025-04-15 22:07:09 UTC

Notices/Responds: This program will allow them to learn how to respond appropriately to their child's nonverbal cues.

Approaches/Starts: This program will allow the caregivers to see that their child is providing cues and allows them to approach and care for them as needed.

Client Factors

ampatrao — 2025-04-16 16:49:44 UTC

In order to have the performance skills of notices/responds and approaches/starts, the caregiver needs to have the attention to care for this infant as well as hearing functions to hear their baby's cues if they are verbal cues.

Treatment Approach

ampatrao — 2025-04-16 16:51:42 UTC

Educating caregivers on baby cues.

Areas of Occupation

ampatrao — 2025-04-16 16:52:35 UTC

This treatment approach affects all aspect of the infants life since they cannot care for themselves and need their caregiver to allow and help them when it comes to their daily occupations.
