Discuss about the Report on Behavioral Implications Of Rational Inattention With Shannon Entropy?

Ethan is a boy having six year of age, lives with his small family, and has one old brother. His parents were working in a financial district in New York City. Ethan born in a normal process and as per the age he is able to develop all the expectations. He is interest in chess playing but as per his mother report that arranged sports are become more difficult for him to handle (Caplin & Dean, 2013). The private occupational service has been provided to him at the beginning of the summer and currently he is taking weekly therapy from a sensory clinic. Most importantly, he is got the abilities to meet the classroom requirements effectively and social engagement is not that bad as he has some keen interest on several things and gaming. In this particular context, some strategies and tactics will be implemented as per the self-regulation power and abilities for the betterment of motor coordination and social participation.

Sensory motor coordination  highly influence social participation because if anyone having any issues related to the motor coordination then  it would become difficult for him or her to respondents to a particular query frequently (Case-Smith & O'Brien, 2010). On the other hand, some of the normal task such as effective communication or level of comfort will communicating or discussing a particular object could not be done successfully. 

It is imperative to have an effective social skills and self-regulation abilities to live freely within the society. Ethan is having some issues and for this special learning skills development, motor skills development, sensory process abilities enhancement process approach has been taken. However, the teachers of the school reported that Ethan suffers a lot while conducting the fine motor task such as cutting, coloring and writing (Dávila, Epstein & Manzoni, 2014). Therefore, it is very difficult for him to execute the routine tasks effectively as supervised by the teachers and classroom requirements would it be filled successfully. He is also faced some major difficulties during sitting in particular school meeting and it denotes that he is not familiar in social participation.  The navigation is not effectively done and for this he is not able to conduct activities in a synchronized way and one the other hand, the aggressiveness had been observed during the play as he put extra amount of pressure when it is not required to execute a particular activity (Jansma & Ramsey, 2001). The eating preferences are also another major concern for his parents and teachers as he sometime chewing his shirt and it provide critical impact on him socially and, therefore, this particular tendency of doing these activities has to be eliminated with the help of innovative occupational therapy process or approach, which will enhance the challenges faced by him.

Interpretation and summary

His behavioral score is 26 which denotes he is in a condition which is not very much normal but not very serious too. However, the uncooperativeness is the highest sensory proceeding that happened most of the time with him. Other than that, all the other behavioral raw scores are pretty much under control and these can be eliminated with the help of appropriate therapy and guidance of the instructor ("Obesity and Occupational Therapy", 2013).   The sensory proceeding score is  21, which denotes enormous development as the some of the factors are in high frequency such as he become more active than the other children’s having same age group but he does things in a harder way those can be done smoothly in a easy process. Besides this, social and emotional sensory process displays that the significant improvement is the score results and the abnormal activities are less and self- management and control are getting enhanced. In addition, the score of the social emotional sensory process is 18 and attention sensory planning process score is 13. These both score illustrates that some of the problem, which may arise during the school and society with Ethan, may be eliminated easily and these are pretty normal and happened very less, which is beneficial for him to overcome the issues at the earliest.

It is evident from the study that there are several behavioral, attention and sensory issues are associated with Ethan and he is not in his normal conditions. However, he is currently taking occupational therapy weekly, which is very good for him, and it shows some amount of improvement in his activities. He does not do some of the problems such as attention and sensory issues, which includes writing, easting and social participation, effectively and these may results in unwanted depression or embarrassment to his mind. In addition, the occupational therapy has to be given by the professional with the help of the data and report provide by his teachers and his mother ("Occupational Therapy and Hospice", 2005). Because, in classroom the regular is quite effectively maintain by him but in case of executing the given task he is failed as he do not have the ability to execute a particular writing or coloring  particular object with limited time of period, the other issue such as sitting comfortably with the other student is not perfect for Ethan. He got some problems with sitting , which is a major issues and it has to be solved to make him familiar with the other and a kind of fear may resulting this particular activity. On the other side, the eating behavioral is mot normal and he do not take regular school meal and he is got a tendency to chewing his shirt and for this,  the dietary concern and infection may occur. Furthermore, it can be stated hat, systematic occupational therapy has to be provided to than in order to make improvement of his health and well-being and some of the regular workshop can be given for the purpose of eliminating the fear in his mind (Radomski & Latham, 2008).  With the help of appropriate supervision and therapy the challenge will be overcome successfully by Ethan and he will be able to led his entire life normally.

It is recommended to the patents of Ethan that they should take care of him all the time and each activity as advised by the therapist must be given to him accordingly to achieve the desired result (Willard, Crepeau, Cohn & Schell, 2009). And, before going to the next week therapy session six days activities can should be observed correctly and the observation should be delivered accurately and precisely to the parents when meeting in the next week therapy session.
