فعالية برنامج قائم على التكامل الحسي في خفض بعض مظاهر اضطراب الحساسية اللمسية لدى الأطفال ذوي اضطراب طيف التوحد

Abstract EN

This study aimed to identify the effectiveness of a program based on sensory integration to reduce some symptoms of tactile sensory processing disorder in children with autism spectrum disorder.

This study used a single case design approach (multiple probe baseline design across subject).

The study sample consisted of (3) children enrolled in the Sesame Gate Center in Jeddah.

They were trained using a sensory integration program to reduce tactile sensory processing disorder, Especially in hypersensitivity to water.

The results of the study reported the effectiveness of the program based on sensory integration where the study sample achieved the general goal: hand washing with a success rate (100%) in three sessions.

This requires researchers to develop methods of measurement and diagnosis of sensory processing disorders and test the effectiveness of more methods and educational procedures in order to reach more effective methods to meet the needs of students with autism spectrum disorder and thus contribute to increase their cognitive abilities and independence.
