Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Assessment - Geriatric Version LOCTA-G
A revised version of the popular LOCTA - just for geriatric cliens with brain injuries.
LOTCA™ G is a revised version of LOTCA designed specifically for use as part of an ongoing OT evaluation and treatment plan for geriatric clients with brain injury. Enlarged components help reduce vision and motor coordination difficulties. Reduction of pictorial detail lessens the complexity of tasks. New memory subtests have been added to the kit. The LOTCA™ (Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment) Battery is a cognitive battery of tests for both primary assessment and ongoing evaluation in the treatment of brain-injured individuals. The LOTCA™ Battery has proven to be reliable and valid in providing therapists with a profile of the patient's cognitive abilities. If consists of 20 sub-tests divided into four areas: orientation, visual and spatial perception, visuomotor organization and thinking operations. The battery's validity is further supported by the developmental age standards determined from a sample of children, ages 6 to 12 years, which show age progression according to the hierarchical order of the abilities assessed by the battery. Findings from psychiatric populations suggest that the LOTCA™ battery is also useful in pointing out possible underlying organic dysfunction. The kit includes card decks, colored blocks, pegboard set, 56-page manual and other materials, all packed in a carrying case with handle, 13 1/2"x10"x3 1/4" (34x25x8 cm). Shipping weight is 4.5 lb. (2.1 kg.).

PLAY Tip
Getting Crawling with the Wiggly Giggly!
Use the Wiggly Giggly to encourage a new crawler with special needs to move forward.
Try rolling the Wiggly Giggly back and forth about 6-12 inches farther than the grasp of the child. The bright colours and engaging sounds will tempt the child to get mobile and push the ball for themselves!
The Wiggly Giggly is one of the few balls that actively engage cause and effect beyond the simple rolling motion. Your child won't want to put this one down, But don't worry. The designers cleverly pitched the groan tubes to be engaging without being annoying!
