Filter by:In the study, sensory processing skills of 1-year-old preterm and term children will be evaluated. The relationship between sensory processing skills and gross and fine motor development will be investigated.
In the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), infants encounter many sensory stimuli (excessive noise, bright lights, painful medical applications, etc.) that are not present in the uterus. During the critical period of brain development, this sensory overload affects the physiological responses of infants; It can lead to sensory processing problems by causing negative changes in motor, neurological and sensory development. Sensory processing was explained by Dunn as the emergence of appropriate reactions and behaviors in neurological processes in which visual, auditory, tactile, oral, olfactory, vestibular, proprioceptive and kinesthetic inputs are regulated.
The objective of this study is to prospectively examine the preoperative anxiety scores of ASD patients in an adaptive sensory environment. Additionally, the investigators aim to determine the relationship of severity of sensory integration in ASD patients and their preoperative anxiety scores. The study will also study the family satisfaction with tailored care of their ASD child in the peri-operative environment.
The multiple baseline single subject design study with replication across three participants in a public-school setting. The 15-week independent variable will be a direct service occupational therapy intervention, combined with teacher consultations, based on the STAR (Sensory Therapies and Research) Frame of Reference. Frequently measured dependent variables, as the main determinants of change resulting from the intervention, will be student's video-recorded performance in the areas of functional regulation and active participation in the classroom, as rated by a trained observer. Findings of the single subject study will be corroborated via semi-structured interviews with the student participants and their teachers, administration of systematic assessments and Goal Attainment Scaling.
Purpose: Sensory processing is crucial to adaptive behavioral responses in occupational therapy. Nevertheless, information on sensory processing in adults is limited. The Adult Sensory Processing Scale (ASPS) measure behavioral responses indicative of sensory processing in different sensory systems. The aim of the study was to examine the cultural adaptation, reliability, and validity of the ASPS Turkish (ASPS-T).
This study investigated the effects of a sensory diet intervention program on five children with a sensory processing disorder. The effect was investigated on children's sensory processing skills, psychosocial skills, and classroom engagement.
Many critically ill newborns in the neonatal intensive care (NICU) or critical care unit (NCCU) environment develop feeding and movement problems. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which neurophysiologically based occupational therapy intervention (NBOTI) for NCCU infants would affect the intervention group's oral feeding and other covariates, such as heart rate variability (HRV) during feeding. The biopsychosocial model provided the study's conceptual framework. The key research question explored whether NBOTI in the NCCU promoted healthy infant development through feeding, movement organization, and parent self-efficacy. This exploratory study with 10 NCCU infants and 10 historical matched controls utilized a mixed method design of qualitatively coded video analysis and inferential statistics such as the t test, the binomial test, hierarchal linear modeling (HLM), and multivariate analysis. Significant differences were obtained between the intervention and comparison groups in the number of days from all tube to all oral feeding before discharge and speed at which the infants gained weight. Longitudinal analyses of the intervention group data were employed to reveal significant trends and pre/post differences in the HRV data along with how quickly the infants ate, parent perceptions of self efficacy and decreased stress in the NCCU. Finally, qualitative findings obtained from videotape analysis provide further evidence that NBOTI was effective in facilitating feeding and promoting development. The recommendations are to replicate this study to validate and expand the findings of the current study. The model for infant care suggested by the findings could contribute to positive social change by fostering positive physical and emotional child development and healthy child-parent and family-caregiver relationships.
