Joint attention (Continued) Here is the calculation matrix and 2 REAL cases for your reference including my son. As I said, the 7 main factors (intelligence, social need, sense of security, interest, other attention, sensory integration & other minor factors) and its weights (importance) are listed below. Originally, sensory integration should divide into somatic, frontal, touching, visual, auditoral, smell & taste. Since joint attention seems not having very high importance in sensory integration (unlike other attention bits), I believe an overall general score is good enough. So did other attention components (which should divide into conistency, convertibility, multi-task & selectivity)
| Weight | Sample 1 (My son) | Sample 2 | Score | E-score | A-factor | A-score | Score | E-score | A-factor | A-score | Intelligence | 12 | 7 | 8.4 | N/A(12) | 8.4 | 1.5 | 1.8 | 500%(60) | 9 | Social need | 8 | 7 | 5.6 | N/A(8) | 5.6 | 7 | 5.6 | N/A(8) | 5.6 | Sense of security | 4 | 5 | 2 | N/A(4) | 2 | 8 | 3.2 | 80%(3.2) | 2.56 | Interest | 4 | 5 | 2 | N/A(4) | 2 | 4 | 1.6 | 200%(8) | 3.2 | Other attention | 5 | 5 | 2.5 | N/A(5) | 2.5 | 4 | 1.6 | 200%(8) | 3.2 | Sensory integration | 4 | 5 | 2 | N/A(4) | 2.5 | 5 | 2 | N/A(5) | 2 | Other factors | 3 | 7 | 2.1 | N/A(3) | 2.1 | 2 | 0.6 | 500%(15) | 3 | Total | 40 | 41 | 24.6 | N/A | 25.1 | 31.5 | 16.4 | N/A | 26.8 | Adjusted total/ Percentile | | | | 40 | 62.75% | | | 108.2 | 24.8% |
Score (Score): It is range from 0 – 10. If your kid has an overdevelopment of a category, please mark it LOWER and NOT HIGHEST since an overdevelopment should mean an obstacle rather than a gearing to the relevance of "joint attention". Of course, if there is an underdevelopment of a kid for a category, please just mark as it is accordingly.
Effective score (E-score): Score X weight X 0.1 (Saying like my son’s intelligence E-score is 8.4 instead of 7 since it weight is 12)
Adjustment factor (A-factor): There are 3 adjustment factors 1)If you mark any category a score >8 (out of 10), its importance should reduce to 80% since its excellence should be no longer relevant to “Joint attention” over certain level. 2)If you mark any category a score 3-5 (out of 10), its importance should increase to 200% since the delay in such category will burden the development in “Joint attention” to some extent. 3)If you mark any category a core <3 (out of 10), its importance should increase to 500% since the serious delay in such category will significantly burdent the development in “Joint attention” to a large extent.
The mark in blanket () under A-factor is the weight of a category X the adjustment factor (A-factor) if any. For example, in sample 2, its weight of intelligence should be 60 instead of 12 since the adjustment factor increased to 500%
Adjusted score (A-score): E-score X A-factor (if any)
Adjusted total and Percentile Sum up all adjusted total in blanket () and added up all A-score Percentile = Total A-score/adjusted total
RESULTS and my opinion
Over 75% Such kid reached the average level of joint attention of a kid. Not much work is necessary.
50-75% Such kid's "joint attention" is below average but not serious. Attention and some work is necessary to improve.
30-50% Such kid's joint attention is seriously below average. Fierce work should be carried quickly to bring him back the joint attention level and other category which he has delay asap.
<30% Such kid is probably having a serious delay and doing a serious program for improvement. Joint attention, on the contrary, may not even a priority for him to improve.
Next passge we should probably share the tactics to improve a kid's joint attention , mostly probably unde categories 30-50% & 50-75% if you are interested.
