Abstract Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a common lifelong condition affecting 1 in 100 people. ASD affects how a person relates to others and the world around them. Difficulty responding to sensory information (noise, touch, movement, taste, sight) is common, and might include feeling overwhelmed or distressed by loud or constant low-level noise (e.g. in the classroom). Affected children may also show little or no response to these sensory cues. These ‘sensory processing difficulties’ are associated with behaviour and socialisation problems, and affect education, relationships, and participation in daily life. Sensory Integration Therapy (SIT) is a face-to-face therapy or treatment, provided by trained occupational therapists who use play -based sensory-motor activities and the just-right challenge to influence the way the child responds to sensation, reducing distress, and improving motor skills, adaptive responses, concentration and interaction with others. With limited research into SIT, this protocol describes in detail how the intervention will be defined and evaluated. Methods: Two-arm pragmatic individually 1:1 Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) with internal pilot of SIT versus Usual Care (UC) for primary school aged children (4 to 11 years) with ASD and Sensory Processing (SP) difficulties. 216 children will be recruited from multiple sources. Therapy will be delivered in clinics meeting full fidelity criteria for manualised SIT over 26 weeks (face-to-face sessions: 2 per week for 10 weeks, 2 per month for 2 months; Telephone call: 1 per month for 2 months). Follow up assessments will be completed at 6 and 12 months post randomisation. Prior to recruitment: therapists will be invited to participate in focus groups/interviews to explore what is delivered as usual care in trial regions; carers will be invited to complete an online survey to map out their experience of services. Following recruitment: carers will be given diaries to record their contact with services. Following intervention, carer and therapist interviews will be completed. Discussion: Results of this trial will provide high quality evidence on the clinical and cost-effectiveness of SIT aimed at improving behavioural, functional, social, educational and well-being outcomes for children and well-being outcomes for carers and families.

Perkembangan sensori merupakan perkembangan penting bagi individu. Sejak lahir, individu mulai memproses informasi sensori yang diperoleh dari lingkungan. Setiap informasi yang diterima sensori individu akan diintegrasikan dan diolah di otak sehingga menampilkan respons perilaku adaptif. Integrasi sensori dapat membantu individu untuk menguasai kemampuan dasar, seperti bahasa, pengendalian emosi, dan kemampuan berhitung. Masalah dalam integrasi sensori berkaitan dengan masalah dalam pemrosesan informasi sensori yang dikenal sebagai Regulatory Sensory Processing Disorder (RSPD). Ketika individu mengalami masalah dalam pemrosesan informasi sensori, maka individu akan mengalami hambatan baik dalam keberfungsiannya sehari-hari maupun perkembangannya. Masalah sensori dapat dikenali sejak dini melalui karakteristik perilaku yang ditampilkan anak. Oleh sebab itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran perilaku anak dengan Regulatory Sensory Processing Disorder. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini berjumlah satu orang yang merupakan pasien anak pada Klinik Tumbuh Kembang X. Metode pengambilan data menggunakan observasi, wawancara, dan asesmen psikologi. Ada pun sumber informasi diperoleh langsung melalui partisipan, orangtua, dan terapis. Untuk mengetahui gambaran fungsi sensori pada partisipan, peneliti menggunakan daftar observasi wawancara yang tertera pada ICDL-DMIC (2005). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa partisipan yang terlibat dalam penelitian ini mengalami gangguan pemrosesan sensori dengan tipe sensory-seeking. Partisipan penelitian menampilkan perilaku yang sangat aktif bergerak dan kesulitan memberikan atensi pada tugas yang diberikan. Hal tersebut berdampak pada performa akademis dan interaksi sosial yang dimiliki. Sensory development is an important development for individuals. From birth, individuals begin to process sensory information obtained from the environment. Every information received by an individual sensory receptor will be integrated and processed in the brain so that it displays an adaptive behavioral response. Sensory integration can help individuals to master basic abilities, such as language, emotional control, and numeracy skills. Problems in sensory integration are related to problems in processing sensory information known as Regulatory Sensory Processing Disorder (RSPD). When individuals experience problems in processing sensory information, individuals will experience obstacles both in their daily functioning and development. Sensory problems can be recognized early on through the behavioral characteristics displayed by children. Therefore, this study aims to describe the behaviour of children with Regulatory Sensory Processing Disorder. This research is a qualitative research with case study method. The sole participant in this study is a pediatric patient in the Growth and Development Clinic X. Data collection used observation, interviews, and psychological assessment. Information was also obtained directly through participants, parents, and therapists. To find out the description of sensory functions in participants, researchers used the interview observation list listed in ICDL-DMIC (2005). The results showed that the participants involved in this study experienced sensory-seeking type sensory processing disorders. Participant displayed very active behavior and difficulty in attending to the tasks assigned. This has an impact on academic performance and social interactions.

Tactile dis ability was one of the sensory problems experienced by children with special needs. Sensory integration therapy was used as a therapy for children with sensory processing problems. The aims of this study were to screen the effectiveness of sensory integration therapy to improve tactile abilities of autistic examine children. A repeated treatment experimental research design was used in this study. The subjects of this study consisted of 6 children with tactile sensory impairment. The measurement of sensory integration therapy was done by direct observation that when the children were given toys and learning tools. Results thus far indicate there is a difference in tactile ability before and after the therapy. Autistic children who have attended therapy have an increased ability of tactile. This research have implications for the therapy and parents to provide sensory integration therapy for children with low tactile ability.

The aim of this study is to present the connections between speech disorders and sensory integration processing and disorders in children’s functioning and suggestions of therapeutic activities. Sensory processing dysfunctions may affect the development of cognitive functions and speech. In this study I would like to emphasize the effectiveness of elements of the sensory integration therapy. Multisensory methods influence the sense of balance. They also shape the child's motor skills, coordination, the ability to plan, and communicate at the same time, stimulating communication and general speech development.

Introduction. Post-traumatic epilepsy develops as a complication of a serious craniocerebral trauma, frequently an open head injury, resulting in neurological impairments. Aim. The study was designed to discuss problems associated with sensory integration dysfunction observed in a seven-year old girl with epilepsy which occurred as a result of craniocerebral injury. Description of the case. The case study is based on information gained from the girl’s medical records, an interview with her guardians and a sensory function questionnaire. Additional examinations assessed the girl’s balance control, and her functional performance according to Barthel scale. The girl received a three-week sensory integration therapy which included exercise involving tactile, vestibular and proprioceptive stimulation, as well as balance exercises and self-care training. Conclusions. In this particular case, application of sensory integration therapy produced beneficial results. The findings show improvement in balance, coordination as well as self-care.
