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.

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.

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.

Therapy of sensory processing disorders is becoming more widespread and available as a therapeutic method, and supports the development of a child. Recently, the availability of classes conducted using this method has greatly increased, and more and more children are beginning to take part in these therapeutic activities. Sensory processing disorders have signifi cant impact on the functioning of a child. The study was conducted to answer the question of whether and how co-existing diseases and disorders can affect the process of diagnosis and therapy in the fi eld of sensory processing disorders. The study included a group of children reported to diagnosis for sensory integration disorders at the Center for Sensory Integration Disorders and Rehabilitation in Lublin between 2012-2014. All subjects lived in the Lublin Voivodeship. We analyzed records of 40 children aged 2 years 6 months to 9 years 8 months, for whom the diagnosis was carried out in the direction of sensory processing disorders, and their diagnosis indicated a sensory integration dysfunction. At the time of beginning therapy, on the basis of interviews conducted with parents/legal guardians, co-existing diseases or disorders related to 37% of those undergoing therapy. Additional tests and consultations, conducted already in the course of therapy, showed co-existing disorders or diseases for a larger group of children - data collected during the 6-month period from the beginning of treatment showed that 65% of children required care of a specialist clinic. The largest group were children who required additional orthoptic therapy. Knowledge of co-existing diseases and disorders is a condition making the therapy safe and effective.

Autism is a lifelong neurological disability, usually appearing during the first three years of life, which severely impairs the person‟s sensory processing; verbal and nonverbal communication; and social interaction. Autism causes disturbance in Sensory processing which affects all areas of life like development, behaviour, learning, communication, friendships and play. The aim accentuates how Sensory Integration Therapy helps in improving the social and self care skills in children with autism (3-12 years of age). The findings reported that sensory integration therapy for three times a week for three months helps in improving some aspects of their social and self care skills. The present research provides an opportunity for further research on other types of adaptive behaviour.

Objective: It is estimated that twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) occurs in 10–15% of monochorionic twin pregnancies. One of the fetuses takes on the role of donor and the other of recipient. The treatment administered involves serial amnioreduction and laser photocoagulation of the communicating blood vessels. After TTTS, children may have deficiencies in psychomotor functioning, in particular in cognitive functions, expressive language, and motor skills. Few scientific reports indicate that twins after TTTS do not demonstrate significant differences in tests which measure intellectual functioning. Methods: The cognitive functioning of twins in the late childhood period was compared using the following tools: an analysis of their medical history, an interview with their parents, and neuropsychological tests allowing the evaluation of their whole profile of cognitive functions. Case Study: Cognitive functioning in the late childhood period was analyzed in a pair of 11-year-old male twins (juvenile athletes), a donor and a recipient, who had developed TTTS syndrome in the prenatal period. Results: Comparison of the cognitive functioning profile of the donor and recipient revealed that children with a history of TTTS develop normally in terms of cognitive and motor functioning in late childhood. A comparative analysis of the donor and recipient was more favorable for the recipient, who had a higher level of general intelligence, visual–motor memory, and semantic fluency. Conclusions: The fact that both the donor and the recipient chose to pursue athletics suggests that gross motor skills are their strongest suit. Playing sports as a method of rehabilitation of cognitive function of children born prematurely after TTTS could contribute to the improvement of cognitive functioning.
